This is a virtual training for new Broadband Leaders, Co-Leaders, and Leadership Team Members. Normally a 5-day, in-person training, due to the pandemic, we moved to an online format. This past April, we trained 15 new Broadband Leaders on this new virtual format and it went very well. Our new leaders are off and running!
