organizations to serve as members of the newly re-chartered Advisory Committee on Diversity

Advisory Committee.
The Committee’s mission is to provide recommendations to the Commission regarding policies

adoption of broadband, and creating an environment that enables employment of a diverse 
workforce within the telecommunications and related industries.  The Committee will be charged 
with gathering the data and information necessary to formulate meaningful recommendations for 
these objectives. 
Nominations, including a statement of qualifications, may be submitted by e-mail to
