As 2025 draws to a close, we’re filled with pride for how far TKW has come—and how much more we’re ready to build together.

From our most ambitious TEKSGiving project yet at Sojourner House, to our third TEKFest in Nashville, to powerful new partnerships and collaborations, we’ve continued to prove that TKW isn’t just a Slack channel, it’s a real-world community of teks, creators, and change-makers lifting each other up and paying it forward.

We celebrated a major leadership milestone this year with the appointment of Tricia Dixon, whose commitment, vision and organizational prowess continue to push us further than we thought possible.

As we prepare for 2026, we’re focused on reaching new audiences, forging deeper partnerships, and strengthening the culture that makes this community feel like family.

We’ve done incredible things. Let’s do even more, together.

Have a great holiday, everyone, and enjoy the time with family, friends, and loved ones. Know we lift a virtual glass your way as you enjoy the last few days of 2025. ...

Announcing Tricia Dixon as Vice President of TEKnowledge Worldwide!

Tricia brings a proven record of leadership to us. As an IT Manager for Virtua Health, she has led high-performing teams in a complex, fast-moving clinical environment, earning recognition for her ability to bridge technical expertise with human-centered leadership. Her work emphasizes operational excellence, mentorship, and developing inclusive teams capable of supporting mission-critical healthcare operations. Tricia has been featured in professional discussions highlighting the advancement of women in technology, underscoring both her influence and her commitment to elevating others in the field.

Within TEKnowledge Worldwide, Tricia has made a significant impact as Vice President of Operations, where she played a central role in strengthening organizational processes, expanding community engagement, and supporting TKW’s growth initiatives. Her ability to flex across multiple areas of IT and operations- combined with her passion for service, education, and empowerment- has made her a cornerstone of TKW’s mission. As she steps into the Vice President role, Tricia carries not only technical depth but a collaborative leadership style that will continue driving us toward greater reach and impact.

“We have a lot of growth ahead of us, and we are grateful to have her expertise, care, and organizational prowess helping to keep us on course,” says Ray Cline, TKW Founder and President. “She has been in our corner since day one, and we appreciate her more everyday.”

Tricia is equally excited by this new opportunity saying, “The TKW community has become so much more to me these last few years. Many members really are like family, and I can’t wait to help write this next chapter of growth, engagement and impact.” ...

As we gather for another #GivingTuesday, I want to speak to you as someone whose life has been shaped by this community.

TKW has always been- and must always remain- a place where knowledge is shared freely, where no one is priced out, and where TEKS at every stage of their journey can learn, teach by example, and have a place they can belong and give back to.

To keep TKW free, growing, and accessible, we rely on the generosity of those who believe in this mission. This goes beyond TEKSGiving, beyond TEKFest, and beyond our TEKMeets. This speaks to the very life of our community.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps us welcome new members, remain legal (seriously, the cost of running a NFP at scale is pretty high!), and keep this space running as a source of inspiration and technical excellence in the low voltage world.

I know I`ve gained so much... business, friendships, experience, and an avenue to really give back and build a legacy. I hope that each of you have found something of worth here as well, and I imagine you have. If TKW has given you value, I ask you to give from your heart today.

We`re making a difference, together, and I thank you for being along for this amazing ride.
I`ve set a goal - $1500 TODAY - will you help us achieve it? We`ve NEVER missed a donation goal - and I don`t expect us to miss this one... and I`ll personally kick it off!

Thank you for being the best part of TKW – lets keep building a secure foundation for the future! donate.teknowledge.org
LFG! ...

#GivingTuesday is coming! It`s the biggest day of giving across the globe! Here at TKW, we`ve built a fee-free, volunteer-powered community that’s truly about lifting one another - and an industry - up.

From #TEKSGiving to tool tips and job leads to real friendships, TKW is more than a tech space—it’s a movement. But even magic takes maintenance!

Your support helps cover the tools that keep us running—Zoom, Microsoft, Constant Contact—and the boring-but-important stuff like IRS compliance.

Our members live what they believe: #CommunityOverCompetition.
I’m donating today—and I hope you’ll join me. Let’s keep this incredible mission alive and thriving.
