Digital Inclusion Resources

While broadband has the power to help communities thrive, many barriers still exist that prevent residents from experiencing the benefits of access. In response, communities across the country are working with partners to bridge the digital divide.

Next Century Cities recently held a webinar to discuss local digital inclusion efforts in member areas. This webinar featured panelists Susan Corbett, CEO, Axiom Technology and Axiom Education & Training Center, Pat Millen, E2D Founder/President, David Keyes, Community Technology Program Director of Seattle, WA, and Anne Schwieger, Broadband and Digital Equity Advocate of Boston, MA.

We are pleased to make a recording of this webinar available for public use below, as well as suggest a few of the many great digital inclusion resources available online.
