To kindly address the concerns and questions raised regarding the Operation Governor’s: Digital Connect Program, we would like to provide the following update:
Hafa Adai!
We completely agree that our veterans and Man’amko deserve clear information and follow-through. That is why, since the program launched, we have stationed dedicated Digital Navigators at each location. In addition to assisting with everyday digital needs, they provide veterans and Man’amko with updates and information about the laptop distribution.
The distribution has been delayed by procurement requirements and storm-related challenges. The contract is currently in its final stages. The Digital Navigators will provide a set distribution schedule once the contract is finalized.
Our Digital Navigators remain available Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.:
Man’amko Center: Mary Jane Sikebert — 670-287-2551
Veterans Affairs Office: Tristine Ada — 670-287-2552
We encourage anyone with questions or concerns—including those raised in this post—to contact the Digital Navigator at the appropriate location. They are available to provide the latest information and assistance.
Please continue to monitor this page for any new information and announcements.
We understand that these laptops are more than just devices. They can provide greater access to healthcare, government services, VA benefits, education, employment opportunities, and connection with family and community. Because of that, BPD voluntarily took on the task of finding federal funding and securing the necessary federal approvals for this program. We are working diligently with the government offices and partners involved to move the program forward and get these laptops into the hands of the veterans and Man’amko they were intended to serve.
Thank you again for your continued patience, and we look forward to sharing more information and updates with you as we move forward.
