On January 15th the White House announced that Narda Jones will become the Legislative Director for the Office of Science and Technology Policy. She tells me that she’s a “day one” employee meaning she starts work for the Biden Administration on day one of his presidency.
Many of you have had an opportunity to spend time with Narda as she’s traveled to your offices, attended our conferences and met with groups of us both in DC and here in our Washington. It always amazed me that someone raised in Brooklyn had so much interest in and understanding of rural broadband. As we look forward to infrastructure packages and new legislation it is comforting to know that we have Narda in our corner.
The attached photo seems appropriate for Narda’s new job as we’re sitting in a boat on Budd Inlet, near Olympia, looking at the eclipse. I’m wearing a Pioneer Telephone cap.
