About Us
The Walter Kaitz Foundation was established in 1980, as a not-for profit organization, to promote diversity within the cable telecommunications industry.  The Foundation was named in honor of Walter Kaitz, a prominent leader of the California Cable Television Association who recognized the importance of diversifying the executive suites of the cable industry with talented and qualified ethnic minorities.

Over the years, the program objectives and emphases of the Foundation have been modified to meet the changing opportunities of the cable telecommunications industry; however, its basic goal of advocating for diversity remains constant.
