ACA Connects– America’s Communications Association
High-impact advocacy and education for independent broadband, video, and communications providers.
Broadband Competition is Thriving Across America
Additional regulation of broadband providers, particularly smaller providers, is unwarranted and would be counterproductive
Introduction of Incoming President and CEO
ACA Connects’ new leader, Grant Spellmeyer, starts June 1, but he’s already hitting the deck running. In this video with ACAC Chairman Patty Boyers and COO John Higginbotham, you’ll hear how Grant sees the opportunities and challenges ahead and why he’s bullish on the future success of ACA Connects. It’s ONWARD and UPWARD for ACA Connects!
Preparing for a Leadership Change
ACA Connects Chairman Patty Boyers says in this chat with ACA Connects EVP and COO John Higginbotham that ACAC’s next leader will tackle a lot of tough issues, but “if we can keep the government out of our business, I believe the sky is the limit for our members.”
Embracing Change
ACA Connects President & CEO Matt Polka tells ACA Connects EVP & COO John Higginbotham that he will be stepping down in July. Polka says change at the top of ACAC is healthy, and it is time now to focus on a smooth and productive transition for the association and its members.
