“I have worked with Jeff Gavlinski for the past three years and have been consistently impressed by his ability to network. Jeff never sits still at conferences. He is always in motion - meeting people and asking to be introduced to influencers. As a result - I don't know anyone with a stronger network of connections in the Municipal Broadband movement and more importantly, Jeff is effective in tapping his network to drive results. Jeff is also curious by nature and always trying to stretch the horizon of his understanding. When there is something Jeff doesn't understand he keeps asking questions and probing that thing until he is satisfied that he knows what he is talking about. Perhaps most important - Jeff is sincere in his interest to make a difference and he is amiable and easy to work with. ”
