The U.S. Black Chambers Inc. President Ron Busby released the following statement after being confirmed as a member of the AT&T Supplier Diversity Think Tank:

" Serving as a member of AT&T's Supplier Diversity Think Tank gives USBC a powerful seat at the table to ensure economic opportunities for Black business owners.

The issue of supplier diversity and inclusion has long been a hurdle for Black business owners being overlooked for opportunities to do business with large corporations. In my role as a member of AT&T's Supplier Diversity Think Tank I'll be offering AT&T feedback and recommendations as it relates to narrowing the supplier diversity gap, said USBC President Ron Busby.

As the national voice of Black business owners, we are dedicated to advocating for opportunities that contribute to the growth and development of Black business owners."

AT&T believes diverse businesses bring unique skills, fresh ideas, and play a vital role in delivering the services, value and innovation necessary to serve AT&T customers. s
