Why We're Doing This
Big-box buying programs are shutting out New Mexico suppliers. We're fighting back, keeping telecom dollars local, crews strong, and profits in our community. All profits from this program will be donated to the Albuquerque Community Foundation to support local economic and workforce development. All rewards are intended to be used by recipients for professional development purposes to strengthen the skills and knowledge of our local telecom employees. ASK Tower Supply will not monitor usage of funds once reward has been issued.
