Anna Read

Principal

Anna advises clients on broadband implementation strategies, program management and design, and compliance.

Prior to joining HR&A, she was a broadband policy advisor for the US Department of the Treasury’s Capital Projects Fund, a $10 billion program focused on broadband infrastructure. In this role, she worked directly with states on program design, implementation, and compliance.

Before Treasury, she led research efforts for The Pew Charitable Trusts’ broadband access initiative, where she designed studies that assessed the landscape of state broadband policy, identified opportunities for state-led broadband expansion, and examined the challenges and opportunities to expand broadband access in affordable rental housing. At Pew, she also provided customized research and technical assistance for state broadband offices.

Anna has a master’s degree in regional planning from Cornell University and a bachelor’s degree from Bryn Mawr College.
