Boyers is well known for her work as an ACA Connects board member, where she’s quick to tell lawmakers her story as a “Ma & Pa” cable operator. She founded Boycom, an incumbent multiple system operator that provides video service in rural counties in southeast Missouri. And Missouri is where her heart is. Active in state politics, she has successfully helped rebuild and expand cable, phone and broadband systems following devastating floods. While also maintaining a farm with her husband Steve, Boyers is a strong advocate for families with military members, just like her own.
