The Broward Business Leadership Network (BBLN) purpose is to develop and implement an array of programs and services to address the issues to make it possible for businesses to recruit and hire people with disabilities. Currently no such program exists in Broward County for businesses with these similar goals to utilize a single point of contact to network, access resources, gain knowledge and meet their human resource solutions. Future BBLN business members across Broward County that invest in the BBLN should have the expectation of improving their recruitment and hiring practices.

However, their financial and in-kind contributions are not enough to sustain the operation.  As a result, the BBLN will seek additional funds from foundation, federal and state funds. 

The BLN is based on two premises:

• Business has the power to hire people with disabilities.
• Businesses respond to their peers.
