Michael Clark Moderates Panel at NTCA’s Smart Rural Community Live Conference

Womble Bond Dickinson Senior Counsel Michael Clark moderated a panel of experts focused on curtailing domestic violence and substance abuse at the Smart Rural Community (SRC) Live, hosted by NTCA, the Rural Broadband Association.

Clark took part in a session titled, “Broadband for the Things We Do Not Like to Talk About.” The session focused on how broadband can be used to help protect victims of domestic violence and assist in substance use rehabilitation efforts.
