Our September 6, 2025 program will feature Alida Nicklas: “Demystifying Fiber Infrastructure in Your Community”

Learn about how Vero has been working in the Humboldt County community for years through the Digital 299 Project, Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative, and now through fiber to the home services in Arcata and Eureka. Established in 2017, Vero Fiber started by delivering reliable and affordable internet to school districts in unserved and underserved communities. Recognizing the broader need for high quality, fiber-to-the-home solutions, Vero expanded its mission to serve the residences and businesses of those areas too. What began as a small operation in Colorado has evolved into a key fiber-optic provider, now serving communities and school districts across the nation. Bring your questions about fiber infrastructure, construction timelines, and more.

Born and raised in Arcata, Alida Nicklas has always had a passion for developing and fostering relationships within the community. She holds a B.A in Political Science with an emphasis on Environmental Sustainability from Cal Poly Humboldt and previously worked for Redwood Coast Energy Authority.
