PHEW! We all know that this past year has been a tough one.
The pandemic has put many things on pause, but it has also proven that our industry has to keep moving to ensure everyone has access to affordable broadband. It’s shown that the services you provide are more vital than ever!
We at WTA have missed not getting together in person for so many events, including our Educational Forums, so join us in the spring in Napa at the Marriot Napa Valley for education, networking, and a chance to raise a glass with friends and colleagues.
Let’s emerge Out of the Cellar ready to take on the challenges of 2021!
