Arif Gursel believes in the power of technology to save and change lives.
Gursel is executive director of the Seattle-based Pan African Center for Empowerment (PACE), a nonprofit he founded in 2015 to support Black community members through economic and workforce development. It was founded just after police fatally shot Mike Brown and Tamir Rice.
US Tech Future is a Verizon-led community-focused initiative working to engage the local community in a discussion about technology and how it can improve the lives of local residents for their benefit and the benefit of the community as a whole.
Our mission is to engage with citizens and community stakeholders in USA to provide information on how technology can work to have a dramatic impact on the way we work and live in our communities.
