One year ago, we celebrated the groundbreaking of NATE's new headquarters with a vision for the future.
Today, we had the privilege of opening our doors and welcoming members, partners, and friends to experience that vision brought to life.
This new space represents more than just an office—it's a reflection of NATE's continued growth and our commitment to serving the communications infrastructure industry through safety, advocacy, education, and collaboration.
We were especially grateful to have representatives of NATE's founding members in attendance, including Craig Snyder, as well as Ruth Lorraine Carlson and Kari Carlson, honoring the legacy of the late Bill Carlson. Their presence served as a meaningful reminder of the individuals whose vision, leadership, and dedication helped shape NATE into the organization it is today.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for today's Open House and to all those who played a role in making this milestone possible. We look forward to the many conversations, ideas, and opportunities that will begin within these walls.
From groundbreaking to grand opening—what a difference a year makes. We can't wait to see what the future holds for NATE and the communications infrastructure industry we proudly serve.
Kari and Ruth Lorraine Carlson
