Leadership Polls

New in 2022, NC TECH will poll roughly 300 leaders in the state's tech sector during the first month of each quarter (comprised of the NC TECH Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, Tech CEOs, and site leaders of major non-headquartered tech hubs). A live web briefing on the results will be held shortly after each poll is conducted. Polls will be archived on the NC TECH Pulse page.

These polls seek to capture business sentiment from leaders in the tech community regarding business environment, hiring trends, future of work, and more.

This polling is made possible through the support of Stearns Financial. Dennis Stearns, the firm's founder, will join NC TECH CEO Brooks Raiford during these live briefings to discuss the results and trends.
