Issa Resolution Commemorates Centennial of the Consumer Technology Association

Washington – This week, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), introduced legislation to honor the 100th anniversary of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the trade association representing the $505 billion U.S. consumer technology industry, which supports more than 18 million U.S. jobs.

H. Res. 1144 acknowledges CTA’s milestones, advocacy, and leading contributions toward advancing American technological innovation over the last century. Rep. Issa – a former Chairman of CTA’s predecessor the Consumer Electronics Association – included the following statement:

“For a century, CTA has created and convened the platform and the people who bring the hopes, dreams, and possibilities of technology to life. In every way, the CTA experience has run parallel to America’s never-ending technology revolution, inspiring the best ideas, driving forward new advances, and setting a new and better standard of advocacy all along the way. The CTA legacy isn’t defined by any one thing – it is a structure of core values and fundamental beliefs: The essential human connection, the commitment to competition, using tech for good, staying ahead on the global stage, and allowing technology to provide pioneering solutions to our greatest challenges. I thank the CTA for its partnership and its friendship – and now it's on to century two,” said Rep. Issa.
