The luncheon featured a presentation by Joe Hegeman, Director of Community Relations at United Fiber. United Fiber is a subsidiary of a rural electric cooperative, and it has made significant strides in bridging the digital divide in rural areas. Since its establishment, the
company has grown to serve over 30,000 customers, offering Internet, TV, and phone services to both residential and business clients.
