Why NC Broadband Matters

Join Chris Mitchell for another NC Broadband Matters podcast, this time featuring Christa Vinson, Program Officer for the Rural Broadband and Infrastructure program at the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and Amy Huffman, Policy Director at the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA).  Christa is NC Broadband Matters immediate past President, and Amy played a critical role while at the NC Broadband Infrastructure office leading the state’s Homework Gap analysis and the NC Band Digital Equity Plan effort with the Institute for Emerging Issues. Christa and Amy discuss how Digital Inclusion and Digital Equity are finally being recognized at the national level, through both funding and policy mandates, while being seen as key components of workforce training and economic development. Underneath the growing explosion of these digital training programs – collaboration.
