This NaLA Talk reviewed the organization’s growth over the last year, as well as additions to the NaLA Board & the appointment of a Treasurer and Secretary to the organization. The review of where we’ve been to where we’re going is a reminder that the unification of Lifeline providers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, and advocates is crucial to the program’s success in bridging the digital divide; it is within the conference is where the molding and advocacy of the program is at its best.
David Dorwart has been a significant driver of advocacy for the Lifeline Program since he was elected Chairman of the National Lifeline Association in 2015. His passion for growing the best advocate organization has defined the “who’s who” in Lifeline, bringing together a united group of members that share the organization’s vision that “every person has the right to essential communication services”. Chairman Dorwart established the NaLA Annual Conference, creating a collaborative space where the mission of the organization is exemplified, supporting the Lifeline recipients, providers, and advocates through education, cooperation, and advocacy.
