Might be one of the best #broadband industry conference themes I have seen in a long time! Truly appreciate the hospitality of the Fiber Network Alliance and letting me sharing thoughts on where the industry goes “after the build”.

Guess we picked the wrong week for a fall beach adventure! But even a nor’easter can’t slow the crew down…thank goodness for coloring books and @SesameStreet!

The generation of women whose own mothers didn’t have a credit card in their name, recognize that we stand on the shoulders of giants who came before us. Paying tribute today with my favorite playlist.

Any time I get to spend with my ⁦@ConnectCTC⁩ friends is a gift so joining them for discussions on creating high alignment between the board and executive team was only matched by stopping in on their customer Paul Bunyan and his CTC fed visitor’s center!

We talk about building data centers in space but we still can’t find a better way to deal with airline baggage? Baffling!

The chaos is real - 2 “lost” hours in Munich, people crying (maybe me?), missing flights and mad terminal gate dashes. Classic case of rolling a complex system out before working out the bugs. Plan accordingly or avoid the EU this summer!

When your house is on the flyover path for the 4th of July…an easy way to toast 250 years of democracy and celebrate our armed forces all while sitting in the front yard!

Unexpected retirement hazard? After years of being fed when I came home from work, Madigan is pretty sure she needs to be fed every time I now walk into the house! Can you teach a dog a new trick?

Looking forward to spending time with the CTTC board and team in Texas today at their retreat as we compare notes on the state of rural #broadband industry and where it’s heading along w the importance of governance, leadership and succession planning. Future forward attitude!

Fascinating discussion at CVBA meeting on understanding AI prior to deploying tools for rural #broadband providers. Loved hearing how @WestCarolina52 is leading in this space. Can’t wait to read the @telecompetitor study to be released.

Looking forward to joining @fiberbroadband and #GaryBolton for #FiberConnect2026. What a great way to catch up with friends in this industry once again. Appreciated the invite to share my thoughts on the disruption and resiliency of this industry.

Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who has “any being” who calls you Mom. And a special message of love for the two who give me a reason to celebrate and those they love!

Found it fitting that @mikeromanoNTCA and I had one last partnership opportunity. My thanks to @washingtonian for the recognition of influence on behalf of @NTCAconnect #broadband providers who continue to share their stories of challenges and success serving rural America.

What a wonderful addition to the @NTCAconnect team! Congratulation Justin….you just joined the best organization with the strongest mission of service to rural #broadband providers and their communities.

I loved connecting with rural #broadband provider teams in South Dakota while sharing thoughts with the @InnovSysSD but what a bonus to run into a dear friend running errands in Sioux Falls! Thanks ⁦@dlawsd⁩. It was destiny that we would connect given your NTCA swag!

Delighted to be joining the ⁦@InnovSysSD⁩ team and customers today in South Dakota to share thoughts on leading through disruption for the rural #broadband industry at their eLevate 2026!

For all those ⁦@NTCAconnect⁩ members who sponsor local e-sport teams - thanks for doing your share to recruit the next generation for air safety! And ⁦@josh_grok⁩ - thanks for putting your energy behind supporting rural #broadband providers in this arena!

Off to spend a few days hiking in the beautiful service territory of #Hardy Telecommunications in West Virginia. #Fiber fast #broadband in an area with no cell coverage. ⁦@NTCAconnect⁩ members keep communities alive with their connectivity! #BroadbandBuiltToLast

You know what touched my heart on this “next to last day”? Getting this wonderful collection of books about tough western women (before telecom!) from my ⁦⁦@NTCAconnect⁩ Women in Telecom friends at ⁦@BigBendTel⁩! A huge smile and a thank you!

A friend shared this photo from ⁦@IACommAlliance⁩ meeting today capturing @MikeRomanoNTCA and ⁦@premiercommceo⁩ catching up on USF. Here is the future of the rural #broadband industry! #BroadbandBuiltToLast
