The conference is uniquely focused on board leadership for rural broadband providers.
The Summer Symposium brings together board members in the rural broadband industry from around the nation to provide strategic, forward-thinking insights on effective leadership and successful practices in governance.
Meet with other rural broadband provider board members in one of two convenient locations — Olympic Valley, California, or Savannah, Georgia — to gain fresh perspectives and share solutions to challenges you face in your role.
Programming covers topics that are unique to directors of rural broadband providers.
- Learn new leadership skills and successful practices in governance that enhance the effectiveness of rural telecoms.
- Hear from leading experts on decision-making, board relations and communications.
- Learn how to increase your visibility in the community and why it is important.
- Review the structure and bylaws of your rural broadband provider and know what it takes to protect the business from liabilities and network infringements.
- Get involved in advocacy efforts that support your community's growth.
Invite your entire board to attend so that you can learn, grow and work effectively as a collective team of leaders who will have a lasting impact on the community you represent.
