MTA UPDATE


      

MTA Seeking Candidates
for Scholarship Foundation
Board 

 A new foundation is being set up to administer the MTA's scholarship program.  The MTA Board of Directors is seeking candidates from both active and associate members to serve on this board.  The board will serve as the fiduciary of the program and raise funds to finance the program.  For years the MTA has added an extra $5.00 to the annual convention fees to finance the scholarship fund.  That will continue under the new scholarship program.  The new scholarship program will team up with our active member companies to promote the scholarship program in high schools within their service areas.  Approximately $9,000.00 has been given away annually to assist students pursuing telecommunications related educations.  It is planned that that amount will continue to be given away to students pursuing information technology, telecommunications, math or science studies and have an interest in rural areas after graduation.  If you would like more information or want to be considered for appointment to the scholarship foundation board, please contact Mike Nowick.  Considerations will be accepted until October 3. 



At MTA Fall Conference
Professor Discusses the Blogging Phenomenon

Blogging is fast becoming one of the most popular communication tools for sharing opinions and obtaining feedback.   So, what is behind this growth and what are the benefits to businesses? You’ll find out when John Logie, professor of writing studies at the University of Minnesota, presents ‘The Blogging Phenomenon’ at the MTA Fall Conference.

This year’s MTA Fall Conference is October 9-10, 2008, at the Northland Inn, Brooklyn Park. In keeping with the theme, ‘the times are a changing’, the topics planned include: opportunities during times of high energy costs; making your telecom more efficient; and useful workforce management tips.

MTA Partners with NetSmartz to Help Keep Kids Safe Online

As the primary provider of high-speed Internet access in our communities, MTA member companies recognize the need to help keep children safe online. The MTA has partnered with NetSmartz to bring online safety information and tools to schools in our service areas. To date, MTA members have purchased and donated over 130 NetSmartz kits to elementary schools in the state.

The NetSmartz Workshop is an interactive, educational safety resource from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Boys & Girls Clubs of American for children aged 5 to 17, parents, guardians, educators and law enforcement that uses age-appropriate, 3-D activities to teach children how to stay safer on the Internet.
