Advocacy

DEPO-KC strives to make the bi-state, multi-county Kansas City region a role model for outstanding stewardship of federal, state, regional, and local Digital Equity funds. Advocacy for all digital inclusion practitioners will take several forms, some of which are listed below. DEPO-KC commits to identifying, recognizing, and celebrating those who demonstrate transparency, collaboration, and dedication to Digital Equity. Monthly Reports will be presented to the Advisory Group of the Digital Equity Program Office.
