The ideal member would have experience in technology planning and implementation. In addition, the ideal member would possess all of the following technology skills. The following skills, however, may not be embodied in any one person. The more overlapping skills each member has, the better the understanding of the relationships among the five functions will be. If each skill is a jig-saw puzzle piece, the TACT membership together should create a picture of skills.
