ANCHORAGE, AK – Tribal Ready, PBC, a Native-owned and governed public benefit corporation, will open its first office in Alaska. Positioned in downtown Anchorage, the new office will serve as a hub for strengthening relationships with Alaska Native tribes, fostering local partnerships, and providing direct access to Tribal Ready’s specialized services. The office will open in early 2025.
“The opening of our Anchorage office reflects our commitment to supporting Alaska Native communities,” said Joe Valandra, Tribal Ready CEO. “This expansion strengthens our ability to provide tribes with resources to advance sovereignty and foster economic self-sufficiency.”
Tribal Ready helps tribal communities prepare for federal broadband equity, access, and deployment (BEAD) opportunities and implementation of the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (TBCP), which will be a focus with several deadlines for BEAD applications quickly approaching.
“This new office symbolizes our readiness to partner with Alaska Native tribes, ensuring they can capitalize on funding opportunities to build the digital infrastructure their communities need,” said Adam Geisler, Tribal Ready President and COO.
“Anchorage is a key location for our growth strategy,” said Scott Dinsmore, Tribal Ready’s Chief Revenue Officer. “It allows us to work closely with tribes, driving connectivity, economic development, and workforce empowerment across Alaska.”
