ACM Western States Region Conference Recap

February 4, 2019

Thank you to everyone who joined us at ACM West's conference this past week in Long Beach, CA!  Turnout was great and rest assured the weather was awful - tons of rain - so we spent a lot of time talking about innovations in PEG community!
 
I moderated a discussion with Nancy Werner of NATOA, Mike Bradley of Bradley Law and Gerry Lederer of BBK about key policy and court cases we have to be involved with in 2019 and talked about digital inclusion and community media with Marty Jones of MetroEast Community Media and AJ Middleton of Human I-T.   

Congratulations to all the Wave Award winners and to the volunteers at ACM West who put the show together!
