The Newcomers
With the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic disruption, 2020 was a tough year for launching a business. And yet such times of upheaval, when many things are changing and the old ways of doing business don’t work, can create opportunities for young companies with new idea and new approaches.
This year’s Solution Provider 500, the annual ranking of the largest solution providers by revenue in North America, includes 21 newcomers to the list. That’s fewer than in recent years not surprising, perhaps given the turmoil of the past year. But that makes these newcomers all the more worth noting. This year’s newcomers include Trox (No. 60), 22nd Century Technologies (No. 88) and T-Rex Solutions (No. 99).
The Board of Regents for the Texas Tech System, for its last meeting of the last meeting of the academic year, convened at 9 a.m on Thursday, May 13, in the Tech System Building.
Chairman of the board Michael Lewis called the meeting to order and introduced the newly appointed regents Arcillia Acosta, Cody Campbell and Pat Gordon who were appointed by the governor of Texas on April 13. They were not able to vote or comment on anything the board discussed due to their pending appointments by the Texas State Senate.
Chairman Lewis asked the chancellor and the four presidents of the system to present their introductions and recognitions.

In driving the growth of any economy in the face of global economic challenges, a focus-driven government harnesses available resources at its disposal to open up value chain opportunities for the prosperity of its people.
While other states are still struggling to diversify their economies, on account of their over-dependence on crude oil for survival, and key into realities of other unlocked potential, the recent launch of the “Ogun State Digital Economy Infrastructure Project (OGDEIP)” is, no doubt, a path to success to the burgeoning economy of the Gateway state and the country’s at large.
The state has taken hold of the future by making digital access available to all the citizens and businesses, and it is the most far-sighted action any government can take in the present time.
