About the Broadband Communications Association of Washington

Founded in 1972, the Broadband Communications Association of Washington (BCAW) is a non-profit trade association representing the cable television and broadband telecommunications industry in Washington State. Our industry is the largest provider of broadband technology and infrastructure across both the state and the nation.

The BCAW membership is made up of cable system operators serving every corner of the state, as well as cable programmers and cable hardware suppliers. Our mission is to provide a forum where the industry can discuss common issues, develop strategies and coordinate regulatory and public policy efforts. Over the last 34 years, the BCAW has represented the increasingly complex interests of the cable industry before state regulatory agencies, in courts of law, in the Washington State Legislature, and in the United States Congress.

The BCAW is guided by an Executive Director and an 11-member Board of Directors comprised of executives from member cable operators from across the state of Washington. Two associate members representing cable networks and cable hardware suppliers also serve on the BCAW Board.
