SUMMARY:FFB Week 26 - Counties Mobilize for High-Speed Internet Connectivity
DESCRIPTION:A key ingredient to successfully deploying a high-speed internet or fiber project is to collaborate with local governments. Counties are on the front lines of ensuring their residents receive access to quality\, high-speed internet services that will allow residents to thrive. Learn from the National Association of Counties\, or NACo\, on how counties across the country are mobilizing to deploy high-speed internet to their communities in anticipation of historic infrastructure investment funding in broadband infrastructure and affordability measures. Understand the county and local government role in high-speed internet as well – where a local government can serve a variety of roles including policymaker\, partner\, funder\, data aggregator and community convener among other roles. \nWebinar Presenter: \nSeamus Dowdall\, Associate Legislative Director for Telecommunications & Technology\, National Association of Counties (NACo) \nSeamus is the associate legislative director for telecommunications & technology on NACo’s government affairs team.

Seamus also works with county officials from across the country to set organizational priorities and policies for telecommunications & technology issues through hosting regular webinar programming and providing technical assistance resources. \nSeamus holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and economics from Bucknell University\, and a master’s in public policy (MPP) degree from American University.
