Meet the Arizona Digital Inclusion Network (ADIN) board members! We are deeply connected to our communities. We listen closely and activate community-driven solutions to bridge the digital divide.
Cindy Hogan, Board Chair and Acting Executive Director
Cindy Hogan had a 30-year career working for a Tucson architectural firm in a variety of positions. Shifting gears in 2020 she became a passionate advocate of Digital Equity as a two-term AmeriCorps member during the pandemic. Listening to the stories of households who were not connected to the internet at that time forged a commitment in her to learn about the variety of barriers to internet access and adoption that existed prior to the pandemic but came into stark relief as a result of it.
Cindy has volunteered for local, county and national groups working to close the digital divide. She was a founding member of Arizona Digital Inclusion Network • ADIN in 2021, produced a Digital Literacy Forum for Digital Inclusion Week 2022 in Pima County, was invited to attend a video conference with White House staff and the FCC to provide feedback on the Affordable Connectivity Program and served as Interim Manager of the Connect Arizona Digital Navigator team at the Arizona State Library.
