As a Senior Research Analyst at the American Indian Policy Institute at Arizona State University, E.J. J. supports Tribal broadband development and digital equity. Check out his story about how the Digital Inclusion Leadership Certificate, offered in partnership by the Marconi Society and Arizona State University, helped E.J. create partnerships with organizations like the Arizona Telemedicine Council to support tribal healthcare. E. J. says, "The knowledge I gained about collaborating and finding data has helped me craft better policy solutions that account for the needs of Tribal communities. I have also been able to form new partnerships, like the one we started with the National Congress of American Indians to establish the Center for Tribal Digital Sovereignty." https://lnkd.in/gXRRun-K #broadband #tribalbroadband #tribaldigitalsovereignty #digitaldivide #broadbandforall

When Delia Sánchez, Community Engagement Specialist for the State of Colorado's Broadband Office, came to her job, she knew that she would be working directly with communities to help them obtain and adopt broadband. Delia shares how she learned the fundamentals of digital inclusion policy, technology, and programs to help successfully bring communities online. From her work with mapping to her new role with the Colorado Broadband Office Workforce Group, this training helps Delia in her daily work. Check our her story and learn more about our training programs, offered in partnership with Arizona State University. https://lnkd.in/dmZKTxf8 #digitalinclusion #digitalinclusiontraining #digitalinclusionleadershipcertificate #broadband #broadbandforall #digitaldivide #digitalequity #coloradobroadband

Today we turn our Digital Inclusion Training Speaker Spotlight to Karen Mossberger of Arizona State University's School of Public Affairs. Mossberger is one of the pioneers in studying the social and economic impacts of broadband and an expert featured in our Digital Inclusion Training https://lnkd.in/gysipJB2. "While we are in this moment of historical change, I hope that states and local governments will remember that the ability of local populations to adopt and use broadband is as critical for economic development as having the infrastructure," Mossberger reminds us. Nearly two decades of data shows that broadband adoption is a stronger predictor of economic prosperity in communities than infrastructure alone. The Marconi Society is proud to partner with Dr. Mossberger and ASU to increase broadband adoption and provide opportunity for all by educating those who are planning and implementing broadband in the technology, policy, and program fundamentals of digital inclusion. We are honored to share the perspectives of other experts in our training, including Larry I. Samantha Schartman Jordana Barton-Garcia Dustin Loup Angela Siefer Joshua Edmonds Traci L. Morris Ph.D. and so many more! Come learn from the best. https://lnkd.in/gysipJB2 #digitalinclusion #digitalequity #economicgrowth #broadband #broadbandforall
