ORA MEMBER UPDATES:

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month 

October is once again Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) in the United States. This year's theme is Inclusion Drives Innovation. To paraphrase, including persons with disabilities, and the diverse skills and viewpoints they bring to the marketplace, has a synergistic effect on the bottom line. Imagine that! 

If you would like to spread the word about NDEAM in your community, ACCSES has created a sample press release for public use. The Department of Labor's NDEAM website is also a good source of information about how to mark the month.
