So glad to see so many @NTCAconnect members continuing to advocate for universal service and #SmartCommunities in our nation’s capital. #NTCAAdvocates #BroadbandBuiltToLast

Show time! #RTIME2025

The idea that all Americans should have reliable access to communications services at a reasonable cost has been a national objective for over a century. Today, the Universal Service Fund supports critical connections for rural Americans, schools, libraries and healthcare facilities. #BroadbandBuiltToLast

@NTCAconnect @sbloomfield15 We are very lucky to have so many great women leaders in our midst, including and most especially @sbloomfield15.

NTCA is celebrating #InternationalWomensDay & #WomensHistoryMonth by sharing stories of women leaders in rural broadband. @sbloomfield15 is posting about women leaders on social media, & this week wrote a blog about what Women’s History Month means to her. ntca.org/ruraliscool/ne…

During a conversation with NTCA CEO @sbloomfield15, @SecRaimondo spoke about the importance of working together to find solutions that level the playing field for small providers applying for BEAD funding. Her message to NTCA members: "We want you to apply. We need you to apply."

Will @NTCAconnect have the resources to help members make the most of “The Year Of BEAD?” Yes! Says @sbloomfield15 to more than 2,200 rural broadband leaders at #RTIME24.

I love @NTCAconnect members. Always standing for the anthem (and a lot of them for the Chiefs too!) #RTIME24 spirit is strong.
