CBLN Mission Statement The Cheyenne Business Leadership Network is an employer led initiative dedicated to providing opportunities to build a diverse workforce and customer base that includes persons with disabilities.
Our program goals include developing business leaders who actively promote recruiting and retaining employees and customers with disabilities, and to provide disability awareness to the general public.
The Cheyenne BLN is sponsored by the Wyoming Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Synergy HRD & Associates, and many local businesses. |
The US Business Leadership Network (USBLN®) is the national organization that supports development and expansion of its BLN affiliates across the country, serving as their collective voice. It is the only national disability organization led by business for business. The USBLN® recognizes and promotes best practices in hiring, retaining, and marketing to people with disabilities. There are 55 Business Leadership Network affiliates in 32 states, including the District of Columbia, representing more than 5,000 employers across the US. The BLN uses a “business to business” approach to educate, promoting the business imperative of including people with disabilities in the workforce. Please visit their website at www.USBLN.com. BLNs are also run nationally in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The Cheyenne Business Leadership Network is sponsored by the State of Wyoming - Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, 
in partnership with related government agencies, business and community organizations - all of whom share a common interest in promoting employment opportunities & community access for people with disabilities.
There is currently no lead sponsor company for the CBLN. Interested businesses with a demonstrated commitment to promoting diversity and employment of people with disabilities are invited to talk with us regarding this important opportunity.
The CBLN is your resource to recruit, hire and train employees with disabilities.
We can provide you with the information and resources you need to tap into this valuable emerging market. Whether your business has five employees or five hundred, the CBLN tailors all services to meet your individual business needs.
