Vibrant Leadership Strategies, Systems and Smarts to Lead Others
Nicole Greer, CEO and Principal Coach, Vibrant Coaching and Consulting
Everyone is a leader. Period. If you have a dream to contribute your talents, gifts and life to your family, your organization and the greater community in a powerful way, you will be inspired to do more with the untapped potential that lies dormant within.

Finding Efficiencies by Necessity
The past two years have brought on all kinds of efficiencies that have been discovered by necessity. No doubt that we have revealed a few silver linings that have helped rural residents, communities and companies. Learn about trends and issues that continue to improve processes and procedures for telcos across the nation. 
This session brought to you by the Associate Member Advisory Council.

Broadband Funding 101 for 2022
The $42 billion that is set aside for Broadband equity, access and deployment is a historical moment in our industry. Since the funding will eventually come to telcos in ways that are out of the norm, Directors should have a good understanding of why the company and allies need to be at the table—not on the menu. Learn how some states are leading the pack and what directors can do to support their leaders and state officers.

Smart Rural Community: Building Better Lives with Broadband
While the technology and connections NTCA members enable are vital, it is the people those connections help that make it all worthwhile. They are the true heroes of our story, and you and your community partners are their guides. Who are the heroes in your community, and how does broadband help them? Learn how Smart Rural Community (SRC), the rural broadband industry’s premiere brand, can help telcos tell the story of rural broadband.

What the Board Needs to Know About "The Great Resignation"
Camilla Formica, Chief Program Officer, The Cable Center
With thousands of new hires projected to sufficiently address the coming fiber needs, one of the key questions Board members will hear about in the coming years is the need to hire new employees and allocate resources to support buildouts. How can the board support the general manager and staff in their efforts to hire and retain staff?
