AT&T Honored for Unwavering Commitment to Connecting Georgians to Greater Possibility

ATLANTA--( BUSINESS WIRE)--goBeyondProfit, a first-of-its-kind business leader initiative that inspires business generosity, today announced AT&T Georgia as the recipient of the 2025 goBeyondProfit Champion Award. AT&T was nominated and selected by fellow Georgia business leaders for its commitment to connecting Georgians to greater possibility, demonstrating that purpose and profit are intrinsically linked.

“At AT&T, we wake up every day with the goal of connecting more Georgians to greater possibility,” said Riley Blount, president of AT&T Georgia.

The award recognizes AT&T’s work across Georgia, showcasing how the company’s core mission of connectivity extends far beyond its bottom line to support communities when they need it most.

“At AT&T, we wake up every day with the goal of connecting more Georgians to greater possibility,” said Riley Blount, president of AT&T Georgia. “Whether we are in the field restoring networks after storms, volunteering in the community to empower our neighbors or discovering innovative solutions, my colleagues and I are focused on making a meaningful difference in the lives of Georgians. When Georgians thrive, companies thrive. Going beyond profit is simply good business.”

AT&T’s commitment to connectivity can be seen in many ways:

“A goBeyondProfit Champion weaves generosity into the fabric of their business strategy,” said Megan McCamey, President of goBeyondProfit. “AT&T’s work in Georgia—from equipping thousands of Georgia students and families with laptops to restoring communication in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene—is a powerful example of a business not just providing a service but truly acting as a partner to the community.”
