Posted on: Thursday, 22 December 2005, 12:00 CST

ATLANTA, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- BellSouth Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer Valencia Adams has been named as one of the "Women Worth Watching" by Profiles in Diversity Journal magazine.

The cover story of this Special Feature in the publication's November/December issue spotlights a select group of executive women and the unique and personal contributions each one has made throughout her career. According to the Journal's publisher, James Rector, the profiles and essays are portrayals -- not just resumes -- of real people with real stories to tell. "They represent the kind of information shared by a mentor with an aspiring novice, particularly someone breaking new ground within an organization or industry."

"I am honored and humbled to receive this acknowledgement," said Adams. "I'm also honored to be recognized along with such distinguished company."

"Valencia's passion for what she does continues to bring accolades to her and to BellSouth," said Vice Chairman Dick Anderson. "We are quite fortunate to have her leading and overseeing the on-going implementation of the company's diversity and inclusion strategy."
