ISLAND COUNTY / JANET ST. CLAIR: Future proofing technology for opportunity

Island County Commissioner Janet St. Clair (D-Camano Island) posted this to her Facebook page on June 3, 2025

Listening to national experts talking about what it takes to future proof the technology to connect us to healthcare, education, jobs and economic opportunity. The number of times they talked about workforce and regulatory issues reminds me Washington State is future-focused and the the last 8 years of work isn’t wasted. We are lighting up unserved areas across the county because of the investments of providers and partners.

I’m proud to be here with Sno-Isle Tech Center and WhidbeyTel as the new broadband training program is a highlight of the conference.
