WALNUT CREEK, CA (November 15, 2013) – Leading Edge Certification (LEC), a national certification program in educational technology and curriculum, is a finalist for the Education Division of the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) Innovation Incubator Award Program. The SIIA Innovation Incubator Award Program identifies and supports entrepreneurs in their development and distribution of innovative learning technologies, supporting companies in their efforts to improve education through the use of software, digital content, and related technologies.

“We created our certification programs to provide recognition for educators who are effectively utilizing technology in their classrooms, schools and offices,” said Mike Lawrence, Founder, Leading Edge Certification. “We are thrilled in turn to have Leading Edge Certification’s forward-thinking programs recognized by SIIA through its Innovative Incubator Award Program.”
