Lynn Chadwick, Federal Program Officer, State Broadband Initiative

You could say Lynn Chadwick’s career has come full circle. After spending the early part of her career in community radio, she found herself in 2001 once again working with community telecommunications -- this time from the federal perspective when she began working at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration first in the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP). Now, working as a federal program officer for NTIA’s State Broadband Initiative (SBI), Chadwick’s focus is on helping states use broadband technology to better compete in the digital economy and assist states in gathering data twice a year on the availability of broadband in their communities.
