ETEC is pleased to host this discussion during Innov865 Week, a week-long series of events that showcases East Tennessee’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. ETEC is an independent, regional, non-profit, membership organization created in the early 1970s, dedicated to supporting the federal government’s missions in East Tennessee, as well as seeking new ways to create prosperity, promote regional development, and explore opportunities for growth.

Since ETEC meets in a University of Tennessee facility, we are required to follow UT protocol as well as recommendations made by the CDC. The University is requiring that masks be worn in all classrooms, laboratories, instructional spaces, and at any indoor event.
