Message From Eric Cramer, President & CEO

Welcome to the 64th Annual Meeting of the Members. As we gather for this annual meeting, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey we’ve embarked on as part of our cooperative. It’s a privilege to spend this time together to reflect on our accomplishments and look ahead to the limitless potential that lies ahead. 

The growth our company has undergone in recent years is nothing short of inspiring. Our commitment to providing broadband services to the unserved and underserved communities has been the driving force behind everything we do. Every connection we establish, every challenge we overcome, and every milestone we achieve is a testament to our dedication to bridging the digital divide. 

In the past few years, we have achieved remarkable milestones. Through our shared sense of purpose, we have successfully expanded our service area footprint to provide broadband access to roughly 30,000 customers throughout North Carolina and Virginia. We have transformed lives and empowered communities, and that is only the beginning. 

As our business grows, our goal is to continue to lay the foundation and infrastructure necessary to stay true to our mission and maintain our cooperative principles. We remain dedicated to expanding the possibilities for the communities in which we serve. Our priorities include ensuring that our members have access to the latest technological advancements, providing more homes and businesses with state-of-the-art fiber connectivity, and continuing to foster positive change in the lives of those in our community. 

The success our company has seen stems not only from the hard work and dedication of our employees but also from the loyalty, participation, and support of our customers and member owners. By attending this year’s Annual Meeting of the Members, you are making your voice heard and representing fellow community members by contributing to decisions that can benefit all of the communities we serve. 

Thank you for your continued encouragement, participation, and support. Together, we will continue to show the world we are “more than just Internet.”
