Skyler Ditchfield, Co-Founder and CEO of GeoLinks—California’s fastest growing telecom nationally recognized for its innovative Internet and Hosted Voice solutions, has been accepted into the Forbes Los Angeles Business Council, the foremost growth and networking organization for small business owners in Greater Los Angeles.

Ditchfield joins other Forbes Los Angeles Business Council members, who are hand-selected, to become part of a curated network of successful peers and get access to a variety of exclusive benefits and resources, including the opportunity to submit thought leadership articles and short tips on industry-related topics for publishing on Forbes.com.

“I am thrilled to join Forbes’ esteemed group of industry thought-leaders and disrupters,” said Ditchfield. “GeoLinks was founded in 2011 out of my weight room in rural Ojai, California. Over the past seven years, we’ve aggressively climbed our way to become California’s fastest growing telecom, and the fastest growing WISP in America. Our accelerated success is largely due to our flagship product ClearFiber™ which was recently named ‘Most Disruptive Technology’ in the Central Coast Innovation Awards. Accolades aside, my team and I are passionate about closing the United States’ digital divide. I’m personally determined to bring connectivity to every unconnected Anchor Institution in America over the next 7 years. By joining the Forbes Council, I hope to educate council members and Forbes’ readership not only about the telecom industry as a whole, but about the current state of broadband availability and policy across the United States.”

Forbes Councils combines an innovative, high-touch approach to community management perfected by the team behind Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) with the extensive resources and global reach of Forbes. As a result, Forbes Council members get access to the people, benefits and expertise they need to grow their businesses — and a dedicated member concierge who acts as an extension of their own team, providing personalized one-on-one support.

Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, says, “We are honored to welcome Skyler Ditchfield into the community. Our mission with Forbes Councils is to curate successful professionals from every industry, creating a vetted, social capital-driven network that helps every member make an even greater impact on the business world.”
