A national campaign that raises awareness about disability employment issues and celebrates the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. For this year’s event we will explore ways that destigmatize the thought that it’s “different” for everyone with a disability. We are honored to have as our guest speaker, Janet Fiore, President of The Sierra Group. Janet will have a conversation about accommodating and including those with disabilities who work from home during this pandemic and beyond. This program will help explore ways to destigmatize the thought that it’s “different” for everyone with a disability. The topic includes information on successes and barriers that face a remote workforce and people with disabilities -
