A Stronger Voice for a Changing Industry Letter From BICSI’s CEO
Across our profession, change is coming from more than one direction. Technology continues to advance, but policy decisions are also shaping how infrastructure is built, modernized, and maintained. That means the work ahead requires both technical leadership and a clear voice in the broader conversations affecting our industry. Our recent statement on the FCC’s Network and Services Modernization Order reflects that reality. As networks evolve, resilience, continuity, and performance remain essential. BICSI has an important role to play in ensuring the profession is represented thoughtfully and credibly when those issues are discussed. To support that work, we have established, for the first time in BICSI’s history, a dedicated public policy function. I am pleased to welcome Eli Fleet as our new Director of Government Relations . This new role will strengthen our ability to engage on issues that affect ICT infrastructure, workforce readiness, and the long-term advancement of the profession. Even as we expand in this direction, our core focus remains the same. We are committed to the standards, technical manuals, education, and credentials that professionals rely on every day. The release of our revised healthcare standard this quarter is one example of that ongoing work, and you will see more about it elsewhere in this issue.
How you can help: • Participate in BICSI standards development and technical manual reviews through our committees and workgroups. Your expertise shapes the guidance our industry uses. • Encourage colleagues to pursue BICSI education and credentials so teams build proven competence and deliver stronger project outcomes. • Stay tuned for opportunities to engage in BICSI’s new public policy work, including a forthcoming Public Policy Committee. Thank you for all you do to advance this profession and strengthen the community behind it. Together in purpose, John
