Statement of Interest for the Board of Directors
I am deeply interested in joining the board of SHLB because I am passionate about bridging the digital divide and ensuring that every community, particularly those that are underserved, has equitable access to high-quality broadband. In today’s world, access to reliable internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity for education, healthcare, and economic opportunity. Without it, entire communities can be left behind, widening existing social and economic gaps.
