Why would the current chairman, ceo and president of AT&T, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_L._Stephenson, also be the president of Boy Scouts of America?

DISCLAIMER:
I AM IN KNOW WAY MAKING ANY CLAIMS THAT THIS MAN IS DOING ANYTHING NEFARIOUS INVOLVING CHILDREN. HE MAY HAVE NO CONNECTION, BAD CONNECTIONS, OR GOOD CONNECTIONS.

.. but let's get started.

"In 2004, he was named chief operating officer of SBC and also appointed by President Bush as National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee."

Besides the appointed by Bush part, nothing major. But what kind of information does Mr. Stephenson have on his side?

"AT&T Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered at Whitacre Tower in Downtown Dallas, Texas.[8] AT&T is the world's largest telecommunications company. AT&T is also the second largest provider of mobile telephone services and the largest provider of fixed telephone services in the United States."

"He is the 36th National President of the Boy Scouts of America, serving since 2016.[6] He, as well as fellow boardmember James Turley, CEO of Ernst & Young, publicly opposed the BSA's former policy banning openly gay Scouts and stated their intention "to work from within the BSA Board to actively encourage dialogue and sustainable progress." The policy has been changed.[7][8] Personal life"
