Digital Inclusion Program Inventory -Survey from the Michigan High Speed Internet Office
by White, Shannon (MDE) 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Many of you may have heard that the State of Michigan has created the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office. We are supporting their work as they begin to gather data. Join Michigan's Digital Inclusion Inventory<https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/5f335f934fd049dead669d712b282d5f> As you may be aware, the state of Michigan recently created the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furl.email…> (MIHI), with a goal of becoming more intentional about closing the digital divide. This goal aligns with a recommendation of the 2021 Michigan Poverty Task Force<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furl.email…> report and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which dedicated resources towards this goal. MIHI has been tasked with leading Michigan's digital equity efforts, but it needs the help of institutions like yours. MIHI wants to foster greater cooperation and sharing of information among organizations that engage in digital inclusion activities across Michigan, such as digital skills training, public computer access, public- Wi-Fi, helping people sign up for the Affordable Connectivity Program, etc. MIHI wants to raise awareness of these services, share ideas, and encourage collaboration for advancing digital inclusion in Michigan. MIHI requests that you follow this link<https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/5f335f934fd049dead669d712b282d5f> and complete a brief survey about your organization's current digital inclusion activities. Please consider sharing this email with other affiliated organizations that also support digital inclusion. This information will ultimately be included in an online resource to help Michigan communities address the digital divide. This will serve as a resource so that communities can share best practices. The survey can be found at https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/5f335f934fd049dead669d712b282d5f. Over the next 12 months, MIHI will engage with stakeholders across Michigan to inform the development of a state digital equity plan. Subsequently, it will look to active digital equity and inclusion partners to continue, create, or scale up digital inclusion activities using funding from the Digital Equity Act. Please fill out the survey to begin the journey!<https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/5f335f934fd049dead669d712b282d5f> Eric Frederick Chief Connectivity Officer Michigan High-Speed Internet Office LEO-MIHighSpeedInternet(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LEO-MIHighSpeedInternet@michigan.gov> Shannon White Library Development Manager Library of Michigan, 702 W.
