US-CCA Membership and Governance

Membership

The United States Connected Communities Association was organized to help communities, establish, meet, and become understood for their commitment to municipal/community broadband capital assets and their use. The US-CCA endeavors to help its members through educational programs, public advocacy, reference models, and standards for community and municipal communications networks. Your membership helps us achieve these goals for your communities, and thousands of others across the United States.

Public, public-private, and private relationships help build the communications and broadband networking infrastructure that enables commerce, education, public services, and entertainment for generations to come. We believe in models that fit communities and the evolution of communications assets as an important utility for many cities and towns.

Your voice and contributions are needed. Many voices can provide many solutions to the challenges of community networking, and your resourcefulness and participation is key to bringing communications resources to all, regardless of size and/or location.
