Introducing Becca
By
on
Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed a new byline this week starting with the OpenCape post - ILSR welcomes back Becca Vargo Daggett. Becca is doing some research and writing for us that will show up on MuniNetworks.org and in upcoming publications.
Her bio:
Becca joined ILSR to work on American Voice 2004, then stayed on to develop the telecommunications initiative. After a detour into motherhood, eldercare, and financial services (she passed the coursework and exam for the CFP designation), she is delighted to be back and focused on the financial and economic considerations behind municipal broadband efforts.Without's Becca's work, MuniNetworks.org would not be here. We are lucky to have her back!
