Upcoming Webinar
If you missed AnchorNets 2025, we will be bringing back and diving in deeper to one of our wonderful sessions. We are also partnering with the Wireless Infrastructure Association (WIA) and inviting WIA members to watch and ask questions.
Connectivity needs at schools, rural hospitals and communities remain stronger than ever as the nation moves to a mobile-first society. Leaders from Tribal Nations and CSU Pueblo will share best practices for leveraging schools, libraries, and community anchors to get their connectivity needs met in challenging environments. Why is improved connectivity required? Where is the demand? And what has not worked and what are the ongoing challenges? Finally, panelists will discuss potential funding opportunities for connectivity solutions.

- Moderator: Adam Geisler, President, American Indian Media Concepts
- David Brady, Certified Training Partner, CTech
- Dana Lambert, PhD, LPC, LPT, Director of Digital Equity, CSU Pueblo University
- Michelle Parada, All Tribes Charter School
- Denise Shorey, Community Partner, Adelante
