Slight update to today's schedule! MCA's President, Andrew Butcher, will be a part of two conversations today at Fiber Connect in Nashville with the afternoon breakout starting at *2:50pm* (not 1:50pm). Stop in if you'll be there!
Congratulations to the new Connectivity Hub projects!
MCA's Board just awarded over $12 million to 12 projects across the state that will help provide training, education and telehealth services in areas most impacted by the digital divide.
