 AeA's State Policy Action Network (SPAN)

AeA State Policy Action Network

In addition to being the leading technology industry lobbying organization in Washington D.C., AeA also has a presence across the country through its 18 council offices.  No other technology trade association has this reach to get you involved in issues at the local level, where many policy issues are emerging today.

AeA's State Policy Action Network (SPAN) programs across the country had direct top and bottom line impact for U.S. technology companies.

  • $100,000,000+ Saved -  AeA SPAN programs across the country defeated or improved expensive regulatory proposals and tax increases
  • $600 Million+ Saved in State Technology Incentives and Programs! AeA was instrumental in passing more than $600 million in state economic incentives, education initiatives and other programs benefiting the high-tech industry

This year, more onerous state legislative and regulatory proposals were introduced on more issues and in more states than ever before, exposing technology companies to cost increases, onerous regulatory requirements and legal liability expansions
