Time Warner Cable received the Bridge Builder Award, which “recognizes an individual or organization that has developed an innovative approach to successful community empowerment and that strives to overcome obstacles for Asian Americans and other minority communities.” This is very meaningful for our company.

Bridges link people. They’re the perfect metaphor for how Time Warner Cable functions as a company. Our mission statement begins, “We connect people.” People—our customers, our employees, our communities across 29 states—are the bedrock of our business.

The communities we serve include more than half of all Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.
