Extending this from the KS Office of Broadband Development (KOBD).

I hope you will mark your calendars to participate AND please do extend the invitation to others in your community and your circles to participate in KOBD’s Roadshow for critical broadband and digital inclusion conversations across Kansas in the coming weeks. The KOBD team is undertaking an “all hands” effort to engage communities and inform a plan to #ConnectAllKansans which involves identifying unserved, underserved and critical digital inclusion needs for Kansans.

We hope you’ll join KOBD and inform their efforts to identify affordability, access, and digital adoption gaps across Kansas and help shape the states programmatic approach to leveraging the funds allocated to Kansas thru the NTIA’s Broadband Equity Access and Deployment and Digital Equity Act Grant Programs.

Can we count you “IN”?  Additional details on the KOBD website here! Hope to see you there!

We Want Your Ideas: Listening and Learning to Build Towards 2033

This year, WID celebrates our 40th anniversary! While we are very proud of this achievement and what has been accomplished within global disability rights, much work still needs to be done to eliminate the barriers faced by people with disabilities around the world.

This milestone anniversary is an important opportunity for WID to listen, learn, and gather insight and opinions from a variety of people like you through a series of virtual, one-hour strategic planning sessions.

With your input, WID will sharpen our focus, make strategic planning decisions, and dedicate resources over the next ten years and beyond.

Your participation in this process will help WID to accelerate our global campaign to achieve equity, accessibility, inclusion, and justice for all.
