AUSTIN, Texas, May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) has
announced that Texas native Don Cain has been named president of AT&T
Texas.
Cain started with AT&T in 1979 in Dallas and has progressed through a
series of jobs, with responsibilities in customer service, regulatory and
external affairs, including positions in South Africa and Washington, D.C.
He has served as a board member of the Oklahoma City Chamber, Allied
Arts, Oklahoma Business and Education Coalition and the Oklahoma City
Public Schools Foundation. He is the current chairman of the Oklahoma State
Chamber.
Cain grew up in the Texas Panhandle city of Pampa. He earned a Bachelor
of Science degree from McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, in 1976.
“As a native Texan, I am happy to return home and even happier about
continuing the vibrant relationship between the state of Texas and AT&T to
make Texas the most innovative and connected state in the nation,” he said.
Cain replaces James Epperson Jr., president of AT&T Texas since late
2005, who has been appointed to senior vice president-State Legislative and
Regulatory Affairs at corporate headquarters in San Antonio. In his new
role, Epperson will be responsible for helping AT&T achieve its
public-policy goals nationwide.
Since joining the company in 1979, Epperson has held numerous public
affairs positions in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and California. During his
tenure in Texas, the Legislature enacted pioneering video legislation that
opened the door to competition in the cable TV industry. Since then, more
than 20 states have passed similar legislation.
“Texas is a great state led by great leaders,” Epperson said. “I will
greatly miss the Capitol and working with legislators who have passed some
of the most progressive legislation in the nation.”
