Charles Benton Digital Equity Champion Award | Last Day to Nominate!

February 12 is the last day for you to nominate digital equity leaders for the Charles Benton Digital Equity Champion awards! 

Named for Charles Benton, the founder of the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, the National Digital Inclusion Alliance created the awards to recognize leadership and dedication in advancing digital equity: from promoting the ideal of accessible and affordable communications technology for all Americans to crafting programs and policies that make it a reality. NDIA will present two awards: the Digital Equity Champion Award will recognize an outstanding individual who has made a difference in the field of digital equity, while the Emerging Leader Award will acknowledge an up-and-coming digital inclusion practitioner. Awards will be presented during NDIA’s 2021 Net Inclusion webinar.

To be successful, nominees should exhibit:

• Sustained commitment to digital inclusion programs, practices, and/or policy work,
• Applied innovative approaches to addressing and solving problems,
• Extensive use of data and evaluation to shape digital inclusion programs and share best practices,
• Demonstrated leadership in his/her community, and/or
