NDIA Names 32 Digital Inclusion Trailblazer Local Governments & Regions

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) announced its largest group yet of Digital Inclusion Trailblazers. 2022 saw a record number of submissions pour in from across the country, with the highest number of applicants yet achieving a six-star score, meeting 100 percent of the evaluation criteria. Being named a “Digital Inclusion Trailblazer ” has been a coveted honor from NDIA since its start in 2016. The Trailblazers project features an open-access catalog of materials used by local governments in their pursuit of digital equity. These materials serve as guides and inspiration to cities and local regions as they pursue digital equity and being named as future Trailblazers. “Trailblazers is not only a showcase of high-quality digital inclusion work, it is also an invaluable cache of information for those looking to replicate tested tactics and strategies that push the envelope of what it means to pursue digital equity,” said Angela Siefer, executive director of NDIA. NDIA applauds the tireless work these local governments engage in on a daily basis in moving their community towards digital equity. NDIA encourages those cities who haven’t achieved all six criteria, to use them as a guide to continue working toward digital equity. The full list can be found here.
