CALWA ROCKS!
As a member since its inaugural year, I’ve been an advocate for its leadership and members for over a decade. Not only have I grown my professional network through CALWA, I’ve developed relevant skills from their educational seminars as a participant and instructor.”

HELPED BUILD MY BUSINESS
"CALWA has been an important part of my career over the last 10 years. The relationships that I have developed through my involvement in CALWA have been instrumental in building my business. I have been fortunate to learn additional facets of the wireless business through the great people that I have met and the many events that CALWA has produced. Being a volunteer and sponsor of this organization has been rewarding, I have certainly received more than I ever imagined and definitely more than I have given"
