Idaho Broadband Advisory Board Announces First Meeting

BOISE, Idaho (May 25, 2021) – The Idaho Broadband Advisory Board will meet on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. MST.

The public is encouraged to participate remotely or attend in person. The meeting will be held in the JR Williams Building, East Conference Room, located at 700 W. State Street in Boise. Due to reduced seating capacity, there will be limited in-person seating available to the public.
