On this episode of Digital Inclusion Exchange, Bruce and Andrew are joined by Angela Siefer. Siefer, an experienced digital inclusion advocate and worker, currently serves as the Executive Director of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA).

The group focuses their discussion on what the NDIA's role in the digital inclusion landscape is, before they move on to share their personal "why digital inclusion?" stories. Along the way, they explain the concept of the "three-legged stool" and Bruce gets fired up about the importance of social capital as the fourth leg to that stool.
