Broadband Communities reports on the work on (sometimes MN resident) Jim Baller…

This year James Baller, a longtime friend of the Broadband Communities Summit, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Broadband Communities Awards.

The award, one of many now on Baller’s shelf, honors his decades of dedication to the advancement of connectivity in communities.

While Baller, known to most as Jim, retired as a telecommunications partner from Keller & Heckman last year, his distinguished legacy of advocacy has left a lasting mark, including on the Broadband Communities Summit itself.

For Baller, it has always been a labor of love. He’s passionate about what he does.

Along with being recognized at the Broadband Communities Awards this year, Baller also collected another lifetime achievement honor from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance last year.
