EWA-Joseph B. Vestal Endowed Scholarship

The EWA-Joseph B. Vestal Endowed Scholarship awards financial aid to full-time students enrolled in Electrical Engineering Technology or Information Systems Management studies at Old Dominion University (ODU) who intend to pursue a professional career in wireless applications or telecommunications. 

The fund honors the life of and recognizes the entrepreneurial contributions to the wireless industry of Joseph B. Vestal, a Distinguished Alumni of ODU (class of 1960). Joe Vestal was a former member of the EWA Board of Directors and a distinguished executive and leader in the wireless industry. Prior to founding FleetTalk Management Services, Mr. Vestal had a long career in management with Motorola in their land mobile radio products division and was instrumental in guiding EWA and American Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) strategic initiatives as an elected officer and member of the Board of Directors of these industry trade associations.

“Joe Vestal has been a mentor, inspiration and a critical advisor to many people aspiring to leadership in the wireless communications industry,” commented EWA Chief Strategy Officer Mark Crosby. “It’s only appropriate that this endowment opportunity be used to assist dedicated scholars who seek to excel in an industry that has benefited so much from Joe’s contributions.”

  • It’s remarkable what we’ve been able to do with EWA’s support. It’s a collaborative effort that has allowed Midland to deliver unparalleled support to our customers. No one else has the depth of understanding of FCC rules, which has resulted in more application grants. Midland Communications has a profound appreciation for EWA’s advocacy efforts. It has allowed us to have a voice before the FCC.

  • The advocacy and regulatory issues are very important to our business, and, without EWA, we would have no voice. Nobody is speaking up for players like us in Washington except EWA.

  • A Beep has been a happy customer of Spectrum Intel since its launch. It’s easy to use, the information is much more accessible, and the service includes extra features that other license activity reporting services don’t have. Spectrum Intel saves my team time each week.

  • We use EWA for all of our FCC license applications. The staff at EWA provide outstanding customer service and do all they can to see that applications are granted. EWA does a super job of staying on top of situations that affect our ability to file license applications and serve customers. EWA’s Regulatory Call keeps us informed about what is happening with the FCC and their online systems.
