Stephen Kohn Elected VP of the V/F/T
TelecomPioneers
The Verizon/Frontier/Telcordia (V/F/T)
TelecomPioneers chapter delegates have voted unanimously to elect
Stephen Kohn as vice president of their organization.
Mr. Kohn, who retired from Verizon in December 2003 after 32
years in the telecommunications industry, was elected to a two-year
term retroactive to January 1, 2004.
“We are fortunate to have a leader with Stephen’s skills and
experience step up to this challenging opportunity,” said
TelecomPioneers CEO Jim Gadd. “He has a solid foundation in the
education and the non-profit communities and has earned his
reputation in the industry as an accomplished strategist.”
Mr. Kohn will be responsible for the community service
activities of more than 130,000 V/F/T TelecomPioneers in 19
chapters. He will also serve as a member of the Association’s Board
of Directors.
“I look forward to working with the dedicated V/F/T
TelecomPioneers,” Kohn said. “They have a tremendous impact in
their communities and I am confident we will discover even more
valuable opportunities to showcase the volunteer spirit of their
sponsor companies and the TelecomPioneers.” |

Association to Unveil New Web Site
Visitors to the
TelecomPioneers
Association website will find a new look and feel to the site
beginning May 1. The new site is designed to make it easier for
users to find the information they need. Behind the scenes, the
site should provide quicker load time, even if users are on dial-up
service.
In addition, headquarters staff will have greater flexibility
over the design of the pages. This control will enable staff to
refresh the look and content of pages, particularly the home page,
on a more frequent basis.
“This new site incorporates positive changes that members
suggested through feedback,” said TelecomPioneers Marketing Manager
Rob Shamo. “It will be easier for staff to manage the technical
aspects – and a better tool for members to rely on as an information
resource.” |
