Lew McMurran is a  lobbyist. What is a lobbyist? Honestly when he first came in to talk I had no idea. He is responsible for persuading members of the government to enact legislation that would benefit the Washington Technology Industry Association. The WTIA promotes and works with Washington industries that involve technology. It is like a social network for technology industries where they can contact and share information with each other. WTIA also offers a wide variety of business services, holds events, and does advocacy/lobbying.  The WTIA has approximately 600 members and has 11 employees. They focus on starting up new companies as well as helping other grow and become successful. Many major companies are currently members such as Verison, Microsoft, Google, HTC, and Facebook. This is a good place for companies in the technology industry to get their company noticed by others.
