Webinar Recording – BEAD IS COMING – Ready or Not

The webinar included NRTC’s Sr. Director of Broadband and Infrastructure Funding, Teresa Ferguson, who hosted a panel with experts from NRECA and the Missouri Broadband Office, to provide insights on the BEAD challenge and application process.

We learned why participation in your state’s challenge process isn’t optional. We explored why you need to consider applying or partnering to apply and what may happen if you don’t. And finally, we explored options for crafting “Flexible and Creative Applications” to help you navigate the complex BEAD program landscape.
