MIAMI, FL – Rashad D. Thomas has accepted the position of Regional Director of External Affairs with AT&T Florida. In his new role, Rashad will be responsible for External and Legislative Affairs activities in Miami-Dade County and parts of Broward. Rashad’s responsibilities will include working with Local and State Government Officials and enhancing AT&T’s presence throughout the Miami-Dade and Broward region.

“Miami is a key driver for our business in Florida, so we’re excited to have someone as talented as Rashad to help guide our efforts with elected officials and stakeholders in the area,” said AT&T Florida President Joe York. “His experience in Miami-Dade Government and roots as a lifelong Miamian make Rashad a strong addition to the AT&T Florida team.”

“I am thrilled at the amazing opportunity to join Joe York and the incredible AT&T Florida team,” said Thomas. “The favorite part of my many years of public service has been the moments when I was able to directly help constituents in need, I look forward to continuing this focus with AT&T in my hometown.”
