Once again, Golden Belt Telephone is utilizing the skill-set of local high school students with its GBT Junior Board. The Junior Board is a team consisting of current high school youth that provides a perspective on students’ priorities, preferences, challenges and opportunities regarding technology, leadership, community service and marketing. The mission of the GBT Junior Board is to educate and involve high school seniors in the scope of service and obtain ideas, suggestions and options from student leaders. This is the sixth year for the Junior Board, and the company is excited to have these students be a part of the GBT team.
