🚀 The Building Texas Show Episode 62 is Live! 🚀 This week, we’re diving deep into the power of cooperatives and their impact on local communities with Sonia Aguillon, President of the The GVTC Foundation. If you’ve ever wondered how telecommunications cooperatives are making a difference beyond providing services, this episode is for you! 💡 Cooperatives like GVTC Communications are not just about delivering high-speed internet—they’re about investing in their communities. Sonia shares how GVTC's Roundup for Change program is transforming lives by directing crucial funds back into the community through education, human services, and volunteer emergency services. 📈 With over 96 cents on every dollar going directly to their mission, The GVTC Foundation is a prime example of the impact cooperatives can have, and it’s something that sets them apart from traditional telecoms. 🎧 Whether you’re part of the NRTC (National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative) or the NRECA (National Rural Electric Cooperative Association), this episode highlights why cooperatives play a unique and critical role in the future of rural America. 👉 Catch the full episode to learn how your cooperative can do more for your community!

The LINE…the new vision of our future. NEOM’s The LINE Placemakers video has been selected for the Global Short Film Awards Cannes. Some great insights from Giles Pendleton FRICS, Tarek N Qaddumi, Salwa A. and Professor Michio Kaku, Ph.D. A sustainable utopia, The LINE has made sustainability one of its key foundations addressing the problems of pollution, overcrowdedness and inequality. The LINE is rewriting the rule book on how to build cities and how to build buildings; we’re building a city not slowly and incrementally, we’re building a city at once of a different typology. The LINE plays a major role in bringing new technology, new industry and new services, whether financial or tourism into the Kingdom and plays a part of the Saudi Vision 2030. The LINE is going to effect the destiny of civilisation itself with a new architecture, a new way of thinking, a new way of organising ourselves and a new way of living - the future is coming… #theline #neom #ksa #gigaprojects #smartcities #saudivision2030 #futurecities
