Scott Dinsmore (member of the Pakan’yani Maidu of Strawberry Valley Rancheria) is the vice president of tribal relations and a member of the board of Tribal Ready. He believes that connecting Native communities to the highest quality broadband service available is fundamental to tribal data sovereignty and self-determination. In addition to supporting his own tribe and its initiatives as co-chair, he founded The One Native Nation Foundation, Inc., a 501c3, nonprofit aimed at providing scholarships for Native American youth from both federally recognized and unrecognized tribes. Calling upon over 20 years of award-winning experience in network, sales and marketing, Dinsmore has been able to bridge the divide for organizations, both large and small, looking to expand their footprint and forge a path into the future. With respect to our Native Communities, it is now time to ensure not only this generation, but all future generations have the same meaningful access to healthcare, economic opportunities, and education as most of the United States currently enjoys.
