A Letter from our president

Dear Members and Supporters,

I am truly honored and excited for the opportunity to serve as President of the Illinois State Wireless Association (ILSWA).

Having been actively involved with ILSWA since 2019, I have seen firsthand the impact this organization has on our industry, our communities, and the professionals who make it all possible.

My commitment to the wireless and wireline (fiber) industry extends beyond ILSWA.

I have been involved with the Wireless Women’s Leadership Forum (WWLF) since 2018 and currently serve as Vice President, and I am also proud to serve as Vice President on the Board of the Midwest Wireless Summit. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the power of collaboration, advocacy, and leadership across both the wireless and fiber sectors.

Together, we have built a strong foundation to support Illinois’s wireless and wireline (fiber) industries and are actively working to expand our presence and engagement at the local level.

By increasing collaboration and outreach, we aim to further elevate industry awareness and strengthen understanding of the essential role wireless and fiber infrastructure play across the state.

At the heart of ILSWA is the strength of its members.  The relationships, collaboration, and shared expertise within this association are what truly drive our success.  By supporting one another and working toward common goals, we have built a resilient network that enables our members to thrive in an ever-evolving communications landscape.

I am also incredibly proud of our philanthropic efforts. Through fundraising initiatives, we have supported meaningful charitable organizations and made a positive impact within our communities.

This generosity reflects the values of service and stewardship that define ILSWA.  As we look ahead, I am energized by what lies before us and confident in what we can accomplish together.

With continued collaboration, innovation, and commitment, we will build on our momentum and continue shaping the future of the wireless and wireline (fiber) industry in Illinois and beyond.

Thank you for your continued support, trust, and dedication to ILSWA.

 

Warm regards,
Taylor Weltmeyer-Sierra
President
Illinois State Wireless Association
