About RIBLN
The RI BLN is part of a national network of other state BLN groups that operate under the auspices of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The RI BLN is not a government organization. It is private sector based and will operate independent of any government agency.
The RI Business Leadership Network (RI BLN) is a business to business network of Rhode Island employers working to increase employment of people with disabilities. Membership in the RI BLN is open to all employers both large and small, including public sector and private sector employers. Currently, a steering group comprising of eight local companies has been meeting since early 2004 to determine the future direction of the RI BLN.
