EmployAbility: New Labels to Build a Better Bottomline

Purpose: A rally dedicated to updating public perceptions and attitudes towards the capabilities of People with Disabilities.  There is no cost to attend this free celebration!

Opportunities: A slate of local and nationally known speakers from grassroots, business, and government will:

·         Celebrate the transformative power of achieving the American right to decent work and fair treatment.

·         Build “Disability Confident” employers by making an effective business case for the advantages of working with this diverse workforce.

·         Share the potential of harnessing the largest and most underserved American minority through voter registration, market-specific branding, and innovative product/service creation.

·         Bring public attention to the lifespan issues of adults with disabilities associated with work, health care, housing, and community connectedness.

·         Move us forward as a more just community that transcends the fears, stigmas and exclusion of relatives, neighbors, and people who have a disability into creating an inclusive society with them as citizens of equal standing.

Speakers for the event include:

  • Keynote-Kathy Martinez, Assistant Secretary Disability Employment Policy
  • Andy Imparato, CEO, American Association of People with Disabilities
  • Larry Clausen, Executive Director, Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council
  • Ken Jacuzzi, Pioneer and champion of civil rights for people with disabilities
  • Thomas Means, Senior Auditor, Ernst Young
  • Col. Joey Strickland, Director Arizona Department of Veteran’s Services

20 tables/chairs will be arranged around the mall hosting community agencies/businesses that provide employment support/guidance, program materials, voter registration, and other resources for accessing appropriate services and support throughout the rally.
