A Message from Our CEO, Eric Cramer:

Reflecting on Our Past and Building on Our Future

The journey our company has taken in recent years has been truly inspiring. Our unwavering commitment to bringing broadband to unserved and underserved communities remains the driving force behind every step we take. Each connection made, challenge overcome, and milestone achieved reflects our shared mission to bridge the digital divide.

Looking back, we’ve accomplished remarkable things together. Through a collective sense of purpose, we’ve expanded our footprint and now provide broadband access to nearly 30,000 customers across North Carolina and Virginia. Most recently, our fiber expansion across 16 counties in Virginia has become a cornerstone of our efforts to connect more people, fostering opportunity, and creating a lasting impact in these communities. We’ve helped transform lives and uplift communities — and this is only the beginning.

As we look to the future, our focus remains on laying the foundation for continued growth while staying true to our core mission and cooperative principles. We’re committed to expanding access to cutting-edge technology, delivering high-quality fiber connectivity to even more homes and businesses, and fostering positive change for those we serve.

None of this would be possible without the dedication of our employees and the continued loyalty of our customers and member-owners. Your participation and support play a vital role in shaping the future of our company and the communities we serve. By attending this year’s Annual Meeting of the Members, you have the opportunity to make your voice heard and contribute to decisions that impact all of us.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, as we reflect on our past and build toward our future, we’ll continue to “redefine rural internet.”
