Beltran named Washington broadband office’s digital equity manager
The state Broadband Office in the Department of Commerce has hired Estakio Beltran to serve as Digital Equity Manager, the agency announced.
“The internet is more than just wires; it’s how families access education for their children, connect to doctors, apply for work or financial assistance, and maintain important social connections,” said Beltran in a statement.
Prior to being named Digital Equity Manager, he advised senior members of Congress and other officials as a public policy professional, according to a news release.
Beltran earned his undergraduate degree from Gonzaga University and a graduate degree from Columbia University in New York. He joins the Broadband Office on Oct. 1, but from his home community in Yakima, according to the release.
