We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to connect the 20% of Americans who don’t subscribe to home broadband—and digital navigators are the key. An event brought to you by @netinclusion, Network On, and Broadband Breakfast. See https://broadbandbreakfast.com/connec... • As policymakers consider digital inclusion solutions, understanding the barriers to the problem is important. Cost is a key factor for not subscribing to broadband, but other barriers like digital skills, trust, language, location and access to a device play a major role. So how do we connect those Americans who are hardest to reach? This panel will explore why digital navigation services so important and the tools that digital navigators can use to connect community members to broadband, digital skills and devices. • Speakers: • Angela Siefer (Moderator), Executive Director, National Digital Inclusion Alliance • Candace Browdy, Executive Director, Connect Lake County • Kendall Lee-Daugherty, Digital Navigator, Cherokee Nation • Walter Prescher, Easter Seals of Greater Houston
