Charles Benton Digital Equity Champion Awards

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance is accepting applications for the 2024 Digital Equity Champion Awards. Named for Charles Benton, the founder of Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, NDIA 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 presents two awards: the Digital Equity Champion Award recognizes an outstanding individual who has made a difference in the field of digital equity, while the Digital Equity Emerging Leader Champion Award acknowledges an up-and-coming leader. The awards are presented during the annual NDIA Net Inclusion conference on February 13-15, 2024 in Philadelphia. Submit your nominations or self-nomination by December 7, 2023 at 6pm ET.
