USTelecom has re-elected Silver Star Communications COO Ron McCue to a second term as its chair. Joining McCue on the USTelecom leadership team are Steve Oldham of California-based SureWest Communications, who will serve as vice chair; and AT&T’s Jim Cicconi, who will serve as secretary. Bert Kramer of Pennsylvania-based D&E Communications will continue as the association’s treasurer and chairman of the USTelecom Leadership Committee, which works to develop educational programming, networking events and other activities that help small and mid-sized companies navigate a fast-changing business and technology landscape.
“With $60 billion in infrastructure investment last year, this nation’s broadband providers play an essential role in virtually every critical debate before our nation today — from economic recovery and job creation, to improving our health care and education systems,” said USTelecom president and CEO Walter B. McCormick Jr. “This decision is a strong statement that our industry wants to continue this essential progress. With a new administration and new Congress, we are fortunate to have a seasoned, proven leadership team that is committed to continuing to offer their experience and hands-on leadership at this critical time for our industry and our country.”
USTelecom represents companies offering a wide range of services across the communications platforms, including voice, video and data over local exchange, long distance, wireless, Internet and cable services.
