Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SHLB ORGANIZED AN ONLINE WORKSHOP TO PROMOTE THE EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY FUND (ECF) IN JUNE, 2021 ATTENDED BY OVER 300 PEOPLE. WE ENLISTED THE HELP OF EXPERT SPEAKERS TO PROVIDE ADVICE TO SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ABOUT HOW TO APPLY FOR AND OBTAIN ECF FUNDING TO BRING BROADBAND TO THE HOMES OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE BROADBAND ACCESS. IN ADDITION, SHLB PLANNED TO HAVE AN IN-PERSON ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN OCTOBER OF 2021 AS IN PRIOR YEARS. HOWEVER, IN JULY, DUE TO THE CONTINUATION OF COVID-19, SHLB DECIDED TO CANCEL THE IN-PERSON EVENT. CONSIDERABLE STAFF TIME WAS INVESTED IN PLANNING FOR THE EVENT, BUT THE SAFETY OF THE AUDIENCE WAS KEY TO THE CANCELLATION DECISION.
IN 2021, SLHB MEMBERSHIP GREW TO OVER 300 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS. SHLB PROVIDES A FORUM FOR BROADBAND ADVOCACY WHERE MEMBERS SHARE BEST PRACTICES, NETWORK AND OBTAIN REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE UPDATES.
