OUR MISSION: The Lander & Riverton Business Leadership Network (LR-BLN) is an employer-led coalition dedicated to promoting opportunities that benefit Lander & Riverton employers and people with disabilities.  The LR-BLN provides training and support to employers to assist with tapping into this valuable emerging market of new employees and customers.

The Lander & Riverton 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.

The lead company for the LR-BLN is currently being solicited. 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 Business Leadership Network is a national volunteer employer-led non-profit organization. It is a grassroots initiative run in cooperation with the USBLN. Katherine McCary is the President of the U.S. Business Leadership Network. Please visit their website at www.USBLN.com. BLNs are also run nationally in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Here are a few facts:
