PRESENTERS

ABSTRACT
In 2024, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will announce new programs to help eligible entities pursue activities to advance digital equity in their communities. To prepare the adult education sector for this upcoming opportunity, this webinar series invites adult education leaders at the state, local, and institution levels to build their awareness of the relevant policy context and learn why this issue is relevant to their stakeholders. To further support adult education leaders in seeing themselves as a critical component of this national focus on digital equity, the 2-part webinar series will feature a panel of experts to showcase diverse “possibility models” of successful and replicable strategies from around the country. Finally, this webinar will preview and prepare participants for a digital equity workshop session to be held at the COABE National Conference.
