Welcome, Roll Call, and Introductions
Inspirational Quote provided by Gyasi Burks-Abbott: “The greatest impediment to a person’s taking full part in his society are not his physical flaws, but rather the tissue of myths, fears, and misunderstandings that society attaches to them.” By Robert F. Murphy from The Body Silent: The Different World of the Disabled.
Focus on FY24 Goal: identify and facilitate at least one opportunity (e.g., event, speaking engagement, information dissemination) to engage and educate at least 100 small and medium businesses/employers on the value of including people with disabilities in the workplace, available community resources, and recognition of effective employer practices.
