Hill, Cotton & Crawford on Elizabeth Bowles’ Appointment as BDAC Chairman

ARRA News Service: Congressman French Hill (R-AR), Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Congressman Rick Crawford (R-AR) congratulated Little Rock’s Aristotle, Inc., President and Chair of the Board Elizabeth Bowles on her appointment as Chairman of the Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee (BDAC). In February 2017, the three lawmakers supported Bowles’ nomination for the broadband panel.

In January 2017, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai formed the BDAC for a two-year period in order to provide advice and recommendations for the Commission on how to accelerate the deployment of high-speed Internet access.

“Arkansans couldn’t be prouder to have Elizabeth in this leadership position,” said Congressman Hill. “Her deep understanding of the broadband industry makes her an outstanding choice to lead the council in finding innovative ways to ensure rural communities across Arkansas and our nation have an equal competitive footing.”

"Elizabeth Bowles is an excellent choice for this position,” said Senator Tom Cotton. “She has consistently demonstrated her commitment to expanding access to broadband in rural Arkansas and -- rural America at large. I commend Chairman Pai on his decision, and congratulate Elizabeth on her appointment.”

“Congratulations are in order for Ms. Bowles, who will represent well the interests of rural Arkansas as the Chairman of the Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee,” said Congressman Crawford.
