SouthernLINC Wireless, a Southern Company, announced that President and CEO Tami Barron has been re-elected to the boards of directors of two wireless industry organizations: CTIA–The Wireless Association, and the Competitive Carriers Association.

"I am pleased to be able to continue to serve with CTIA and CCA on their missions to advocate on behalf of the wireless industry," said Barron. "I look forward to providing a regional carrier's perspective to these important organizations."

Barron will continue on CTIA's 38-member board of directors through 2016. CTIA announced its election results last month at the Super Mobility event in Las Vegas. Based in Washington, D.C., CTIA is a not-for-profit, international organization representing the wireless communications industry.

In addition, Barron was re-elected to serve on CCA's board of directors through 2016 at their 20^th annual meeting earlier this month in Fort Lauderdale. CCA is the leading association for competitive wireless providers and stakeholders across the United States. The licensed service area of CCA's more than 100 members covers 95 percent of the nation.

Part of Southern Company for more than 33 years, Barron became president and CEO of SouthernLINC Wireless in April 2015. She concurrently serves as CEO for Southern Telecom, a wholly-owned dark fiber subsidiary of SouthernLINC Wireless.
