On July 22, at 2pm ET, NSC’s Director of Government Affairs, Katie Spiker, will join a virtual discussion on reshaping America’s digital infrastructure for the 21st century and beyond, hosted by the Microsoft Innovation & Policy Center. The virtual discussion will also feature Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist, Dr. Dominique Harrison of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Angela Siefer of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance, and Portia Wu of Microsoft – who is also an NSC Board member. These leaders will focus on and discuss how investing in digital infrastructure can help promote inclusive economic recovery and close the digital opportunity gap to ensure all Americans have access to digital skills and broadband. During the event, Sen. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico will offer welcome remarks and we’ll demonstrate a new dashboard providing a state-by-state look at efforts to close the digital opportunity gap.
