Business Leadership Network (BLN)

The Business Leadership Network (BLN), chaired by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is a national program led by employers in concert with state Governor's Committees and/or community agencies that engages the leadership and participation of companies throughout the United States to hire qualified job candidates with disabilities. ODEP and DOL support the BLN concept of business-to-business mentoring and have provided financial support for its Annual Summit, hosted in 2002 by the U. S. Chamber.
