Working Group Members Announced for FCC Diversity Council

Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has appointed the individuals listed here to serve as members of the three working groups of the Communications Equity and Diversity Council (CEDC). The working groups include members of the CEDC, additional working group members, and independent subject matter experts. The Innovation and Access Working Group will recommend solutions to reduce entry barriers and encourage ownership and management of media, digital, communications services and next-generation technology properties and start-ups to encourage viewpoint diversity by a broad range of voices. The Digital Empowerment and Inclusion Working Group will make recommendations for addressing digital redlining and other barriers that impact equitable access to emerging technology in under-served and under-connected communities. The Diversity and Equity Working Group will propose solutions and approaches on how the FCC can affirmatively advance equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity in the telecommunications industry to address inequalities in workplace employment policies and programs.
