Presentation

We are excited to feature a presentation on the value proposition of disability inclusion. Are you hiring? If so, you may be overlooking a massive pool of top talent – persons with disabilities. Join us for a presentation on the value of disability inclusive hiring practices and talent management. Presenter Robert Ludke will discuss why disability inclusion is not an act of philanthropy, but a smart and long-term value for businesses, the bottom line, customers, and the community.
