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.

The Rock Springs 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 RS-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.
