In the future we will meet with key policy makers and opinion leaders in the state to discuss various issues. These will include supporting policies that increase competition, increase the availability of advanced telecommunications technologies, promote investment and innovation in the state's telecommunications infrastructure, and make life altering communications technologies more readily available to Kansans with disabilities. Connect Kansas members will receive several newsletters, mailings and email updates discussing telecommunications issues affecting the state. Most importantly, Connect Kansas members gain a voice regarding important telecommunications policy issues that will have an enormous impact on the economic future of Kansas. Members may choose to take action on telecommunications policy issues as they arise by writing to legislators and policy makers or attending Connect Kansas events.
Membership is free and participation in any Connect Kansas events or activities are voluntary.
Connect Kansas receives support from Southwestern Bell. Southwestern Bell's sponsorship is noted on Connect Kansas materials, including our Web site. However, Southwestern Bell is only one of thousands of Connect Kansas members. Please contact Executive Director Doug Lawrence with any invitations for speaking engagements or other events.
