About the Georgia Wireless
Association
Founded in January 2004, the Georgia Wireless
Association ("GWA") is a non-profit
industry organization with a membership
consisting primarily of individuals who are
involved with the deployment, operation and
maintenance of wireless networks. Firms such
as cellular carriers, tower companies, project
management consultants, architecture &
engineering firms, surveyors, regulatory
consultants, general contractors and law firms
are represented.
The GWA provides a forum for wireless
telecommunications industry representatives to
collaborate on various issues including
infrastructure, zoning, and regulatory
matters. GWA also allows the wireless industry
in Georgia to speak with a unified voice on
issues the group deems appropriate to
address.
The Board of Directors of GWA is made up of
the officers of the association and the chairs
of the various committees. These committees
reflect the interests of the GWA membership
and the purpose of the organization. They
include Regulatory, Education, Membership, and
Public Relations/Social. Additionally, there
is a Steering Committee consisting of
representatives from the major wireless
carriers in Georgia. This Steering Committee
advises the Board on matters of interest and
areas of concern to wireless carriers.
GWA sponsors quarterly luncheon meetings for
its members. At these meetings, the Board
reports on the business of the organization,
and programs are held which include speakers
on subjects of interest to the wireless
industry in general and the members in
particular. These subjects may include, but
are certainly not limited to regulatory
matters, zoning and land use issues,
technological developments affecting network
deployment, legal aspects of the wireless
industry, new services or products, and/or
updates on general business matters related to
wireless networks.
In addition to the quarterly luncheons, the
Georgia Wireless Association sponsors several
social events during the year, such as the
annual GWA Golf Classic and a holiday party
for members, which cultivate relationships
among the members of the wireless
community.
