The webinar, which will be held from noon-1:30 p.m. MT, is part of a series in conjunction with the Reimagining the Rural West Initiative of WGA Chair and North Dakota Gov.

The webinar will explore creative strategies to leverage anchor institutions and federal programs to drive further broadband investment in rural and low-income areas.
