Biography of Geoff Feiss
Since 1998, Geoff has served as the General Manager of the Montana Telecommunications Association (" MTA"), which represents commercial and cooperative rural telecommunications providers serving residential and commercial consumers of Montana. MTA provides public policy advocacy services, communications, public relations, education and other services for its member companies. MTA holds its Annual Meeting in August, and an annual trade show the week following Thanksgiving, as well as a variety of other education and training programs throughout the year.
Geoff began his career in Washington, DC, in 1977, where he worked on Capitol Hill for several years as a legislative assistant, and then moved "downtown" to work for the American Electronics Association. From 1987 to 1994, he lived in Detroit, MI, where he was government relations director for Michigan Bell Telephone Company. He subsequently returned to Washington, DC, as a Congressional relations director for USTelecom (f/k/a, U.S. Telecommunications Association).
Geoff frequently has represented MTA and rural telecommunications carriers on universal service and other telecommunications policy matters in comments before the FCC, in testimony before Congress, and in state legislative and regulatory bodies.
Geoff was an International Relations Major at the University of Maine, Orono, ME. He and his wife, Lori, were married in 1980 and have four children. They live in Helena, Montana.
