The NDIA Community forms the strong, growing core of digital inclusion work in the United States. We are seasoned experts, yet extremely welcoming – diverse and inclusive. We are digital inclusion practitioners, advocates, and supporters working with our communities to advance digital equity.
We welcome new members, including nonprofits and government entities who wish to identify as NDIA Affiliates. We also invite Corporate Supporters to join our community — learn from on-the-ground customer experiences, get recommendations from the community, show your support for digital inclusion, and share how you’re committed to building digital equity.
