MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & EXEC. DIRECTOR:  There is a continual need across the country and in Michigan for computer ownership in the home, along with affordable internet in the home. It's nice to utilize technology at school and work, but the real needs in the home need to be met in order to bridge the digital divide. Too many urban and rural homes do not have the equipment or access to compete locally or globally in a technology savvy environment. So many residents in Michigan are not digital natives that are being left behind!!! Gone are the excuses--go to the library or coffee shop, we need to address this issue of the the digital gaps in our own backyards and cities.

--Angela P. (Chari) & Terrion M. (Exec. Dir.)
