NEWA’s
mission is to cultivate relationships between members of the wireless industry,
to provide an open forum for the exchange of information and ideas, to work
with government officials on issues impacting the wireless industry, and to
promote the highest standards of business practices among members.
NEWA’s
dedicated leadership team consists of four officers and six directors, all from
a myriad of organizations within the wireless industry. Tara Rand, Senior
Manager Business Development at SAI Group, is NEWA’s President and Dan Hamm,
Principal at Hudson Design Group L.L.C., is Vice President.
Every
year NEWA hosts a variety of educational and charity events. These include the
association’s famous charity golf tournament to benefit the newly created NEWA
Scholarship Fund, industry-related educational events, charity hockey and
cornhole games, as well as a holiday social in Boston.
NEWA
joins WIA’s eight other SWAP members: California Wireless Association,
Carolinas Wireless Association, Maryland/DC Wireless Association, New Jersey
Wireless Association, New York State Wireless Association, Northwest Wireless
Association, Pennsylvania Wireless Association and Virginia Wireless
Association. WIA supports these associations by assisting with advocacy efforts,
member recruitment, revenue generation via events, marketing, association
promotion, website design and maintenance, and administrative tasks.
The
SWAP promotes the wireless industry and raises technology awareness at the
state and local level. Individual associations are created under the SWAP
umbrella to develop a local presence for the wireless industry within the
community. It is vital to the continued growth of the industry to have a single
force addressing local issues and responsibilities. Working together under the
SWAP, companies can cultivate and develop positive relationships between the
wireless industry and the community leadership. The state wireless associations
welcome anyone involved in the wireless industry including, but not limited to,
carriers, tower companies, vendors, services organizations, law firms, title
companies, environmental companies, construction companies, network
consultants, engineering firms and individual site acquisition agents.
