ETHICS AND VALUES: WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER The Class of 2018's Letter from Leadership

LDP Community and Friends of the Program,

It’s great to have you back for our 3rd edition of LDP Connect.  As the summer approaches, we’ve decided to shine a light on the topics of corporate social responsibility, ethics and values.  We know what you’re probably thinking… “the fun stuff.” At first glance, that was our perception too. We then, however, realized after doing a little digging that these subjects are deeply rooted within some of the most interesting and rewarding work going on at AT&T.    Starting from our senior leadership down, we’re a company that believes in doing the right thing. We’re personally members of all the communities in which we operate. We’re all interconnected and strive to positively impact every aspect of our communities. It’s been that way since the beginning and now it’s our turn to carry that torch forward.   When it comes to the LDP, we’re a program made up of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. We come from all walks of life but still hold the same values at heart. Being in the positions that we are, we’re fortunate but at the same time, we have the huge responsibility of preserving these values. We preserve these values through our leadership roles and the decisions we make, no matter how big or small in the judgment calls we face each day. In the end, no matter what challenges and adventures we have, we’re hopeful our May edition serves as a nice reminder for us of what’s most important!

" Life ' s most persistent and urgent question is, ' What are you doing for others? '"
