Jim Blasingame Named To AMD
Global Consumer Advisory Board.

Advanced Micro Devices, (AMD) has selected Jim Blasingame, president of Small Business Network, Inc., as a founding member of its Global Consumer Advisory Board (GCAB). The GCAB has been created to evaluate and improve the quality of the home and small business computing technology experience. Leading consumer and small business advocates from Asia, Europe, North America and South America will identify and seek to resolve key challenges in computing technology facing home and small business users.

"It is an honor to be chosen to serve with this distinguished group, and I commend AMD for recognizing the importance small businesses play in the global economy." said Blasingame.

Blasingame is the creator and host of the nationally syndicated, weekday radio/Internet talk show, "The Small Business Advocate," and the author of Small Business Is Like A Bunch Of Bananas. The U.S. Small Business Administration selected him as the 2002 Small Business Journalist of the Year, and Fortune Small Business identified him as one of the 30 most influential people in America representing small business.

"We are excited and fortunate to have someone of Jim Blasingame’s caliber join our group. He brings the GCAB a comprehensive background in small business issues, and an intense passion for small business, which is evident in his extensive multi-media activity." said Pat Moorhead, vice president of Customer Advocacy at AMD, and chairman of the GCAB.

"Technology has become the great lever that is providing small businesses with the ability to compete more effectively in ways that were not possible just a few years ago. Part of my mission as The Small Business Advocate is to take that message to the marketplace in as many venues as I can, and the GCAB will provide a great opportunity to accomplish this goal," added Blasingame.
