WTIA and Delta Air Lines Partnership Takes Off to Deliver Exclusive Benefits to Washington's Tech IndustrySEATTLE, June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA), Washington state's unifying voice for the technology community, today announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL). As a key pillar of this partnership, Delta will now offer savings on airline tickets to all employees of WTIA member companies. Delta is also the premier sponsor of the WTIA's upcoming 20th Anniversary Golf Open, taking place on Monday, July 20 at Glendale Country Club in Bellevue. Delta's partnership with the WTIA is reflective of the airline's strategic focus on meeting the demands of Washington's highly influential trillion-dollar technology sector. Delta is Seattle's fastest-growing airline offering 124 peak-day departures to 35 destinations. The company recently invested over $15 million in its facilities at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including its Delta Sky Club, lobby renovations, and enhancements to the international arrivals area. "Our partnership with the WTIA supports our emphasis on meeting the needs of Washington's thriving tech economy," said Mike Medeiros, Delta's Vice President of Seattle. "Through our investment in WTIA member companies, we look forward to continuing to partner with the tech community while helping accelerate growth of the entire region." "Delta's active participation in our community recognizes the strength of Washington's tech industry and the vital contributions it makes to our state's economy," said Michael Schutzler, CEO of the WTIA. "We value Delta's support and will continue to look at additional ways we can build upon this relationship to benefit WTIA members and the industry as a whole." Delta is actively sponsoring two of WTIA's premier events this year including the First Look Forum and the upcoming 20th Anniversary Golf Tournament which brings together leading tech executives for a bit of friendly competition and peer networking. The theme of this year's tournament is "The Game of Golf" featuring brand new twists and turns throughout the course.
