A statewide planning effort to bring digital equity to Alaskans is under way and Alaskans are invited to participate. Operating as the state’s designated administering entity, the Rasmuson Foundation has begun employing the following strategies and tools to inform and educate about the digital equity plan’s development:
• Website and social media channels focused on providing information about digital equity in Alaska and facilitating community engagement.
• Digital equity community engagement meetings statewide.
• Partnerships with smaller community groups with extensive knowledge of their respective needs.
Alaskans will have the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the draft plan this July and August.
