Meet Our Board of Directors
The ECB is led by a statutory Board of Directors, created by Chapter 15, Section 15.57 of Wisconsin Statutes, that ensures Wisconsin residents can equitably access telecommunications services and advanced technologies in support of education and public safety goals. Its members represent public and educational interests, as well as the executive and legislative branches of state government.
