Meeting Agenda

​Primary agenda item is to continue our discussion on the 2020 Stakeholder Network Plan. I have drafted a sponsorship/fundraising document (Attachment Coming). See the draft plan below. Please note that this is a draft plan pending discussion, prioritization and adoption by this Leadership Team. 

Introduction & ATIC Funding

You may know that ATIC provided $5000.00 to support AZBSN development.

• Continue to coordinate and support the Network Leadership Team , Network Planning and Labster Consortium Development
  
• Coordinate Network events as determined by the Leadership Team that may include: Roundtables, webinars or workshops
• Support the development of the ATIC web site, especially the Broadband Stakeholder info and event pages, and include a calendar of events related to broadband planning and related initiatives on the web site
• Send periodic email updates to stakeholders, such as announcements of events and funding opportunities
• Update and post announcements on the ATIC LinkedIn and Facebook accounts
• Develop an integrated GAZEL/ATIC CRM/database and common email communication platform such as Mobilize or Mail Chimp to include key leaders and interested parties representing stakeholder groups

        --- Phase 1: Develop a Google Sheet to incorporate the registration list from the Roundtable, and the current email list that Mark maintains, adding contact info – name, organization, address, phone, etc.
       --- Explore alternative CRM/email marking/community management platform (s)
       --- Phase 3: Integrate ATIC and GAZEL lists

• Developing collateral material such as flyers
• Support fundraising: Research funding and sponsorship opportunities and preparing and submitting funding and sponsorship requests 

2020 Draft Plan

•  Coordination of 2 statewide in person Stakeholder Roundtables, with webinar/audio, web and video conferencing available. Roundtables may include: presentations; updates and information sharing; project/vendor showcase; networking
  
• Bi-monthly Webinars
• Periodic stakeholder email newsletters/updates such as announcements of federal, state and local resources and funding opportunities, events, articles, etc.
• Posting announcements on the ATIC and GAZEL LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook accounts
• The ATIC/AZBSN website to include: a calendar of events related to broadband planning and related initiatives; overview/summaries of Arizona broadband planning initiatives, entities, contacts and resources, access to information about strategies and resources for planning and deployment of broadband
• An integrated GAZEL/ATIC CRM/database and email communication platform to connect with key leaders and interested parties representing stakeholder groups
• Collateral material such as AZBSN flyers
• Discussion of telecom planning and policy issues
• Exhibits at education, technology, government, healthcare, economic development conferences and events
• A collaboration platform

Possible Future Projects 

• Annual Broadband Stakeholder Summit/Conference
• Anchor Institution coordination and support
• Regional Roundtables/Workshops in person and with webinar/audio, web and video conferencing available. Content may include information and examples/best practices such as:
  • How broadband can support education, economic development, health care, and community services. Emphasis on economic development
  • Models of community rights-of-way policies that will expedite and reduce costs in the permitting process. Local communities need to develop policies that reduce costs, remove barriers and expedite deployment

Webinar Update

As you know, on December 13 we presented a Webinar on Arizona’s Broadband Progress, Strategies, Plans and New Technologies being developed in Arizona to facilitate broadband deployment to rural and under-served communities. Attendees also learned about some of Arizona’s great companies and resources and about the Broadband Stakeholder Network.

Fifty-eight people from business, government, education and nonprofit organizations registered to attend. It was a very diverse group including the 3 universities, community colleges, school districts, reservations, Economic Development Directors, libraries, local communities, and more. Interesting about the registrations is that there were a lot of new people that have not been engaged with us in the past. I am guessing that this is a result of the new email list I am developing and some social media promotion. FYI, as a result of the webinar I met with Derek Masseth the new Director of the Sun Corridor Network who is joining our Leadership Team, and, in January Jeff Sobotka and I will be meeting with the CIO at ASU.  

Anyway, in case you missed it, you will find the entire recording of the webinar, along with the PowerPoint presentations, and presenter contact information on our web site.  Access the video, PowerPoints and Contacts Here.
