What Is CITE?
CITE – The Consortium of
Information and
Telecommunications Executives
(CITE) is a 501(c)(3) national
nonprofit organization
representing over 35,000 AfricanAmerican employees and retirees
of Verizon.
CITE is committed to industry excellence,
community service, and personal and
professional development. As a resource group,
CITE provides employee advocacy and makes a
positive impact by providing thousands of
dollars in scholarships annually to needy
students across the country, and implementing
training and professional development programs.
CITE's commitment to literacy is demonstrated
through its partnerships with Verizon Reads and
First Book. First Book is the national nonprofit
agency that provides a first new book to children
from low-income families. These partnerships
enabled CITE to distribute over 500,000 children's
books to various schools and community
organizations last year alone.
The CITE organization originated with the
breakup of the Bell system and the desire to
ensure that issues and concerns of AfricanAmerican and other minority employees were
addressed. The issues raised focused on equitable
treatment, fair working conditions and career
advancement.

In 1983, a group of Mid-Atlantic AfricanAmerican managers, representing employees of
the former Bell system, met to develop immediate
and future strategies. That meeting led to the
formation of CITE. This regional organization
was dedicated to addressing the needs of black
telecommunications professionals.
CITE's founding members included
representatives from Baltimore, MD;
Washington, DC; Richmond, VA; Northern VA;
Eastern VA; Pennsylvania; Delaware; and
managers from New Jersey Bell.
Our Mission
CITE is a nonprofit organization of AfricanAmericans and other minority employees of
Verizon Communications. We provide employee
advocacy, issue awareness and professional
development within the company. We also serve
as a resource for the African-American
community at large.
The mission of CITE is to research, plan and
implement innovative programs that are
replicable and have the potential of positively
affecting the quality of life in our industry and
the communities we serve. In addition, CITE acts
as a conveyer to provide an opportunity for
positive professional dialogue and interaction,
examining issues affecting the
telecommunications industry, upward mobility
of our members, technological and regulatory
concerns affecting the communities we serve.
