U S Business Leadership Network

The U S Business Leadership Network (USBLN) is a non-profit organization, incorporated on October 28, 2003, that supports development and expansion of BLNs across the country. USBLN is a national program led by employers that engages the leadership and participation of companies throughout the United States to hire qualified job candidates with disabilities. USBLN recognizes and promotes best practices in hiring, retaining, and marketing to people with disabilities. The Office of Disability Employment Policy and the U. S. Department of Labor support the USBLN concept of business-to-business mentoring and have provided financial support for its Annual Summits in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
