Rx. for Resilience: Ability
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Whether you are neurodiverse, visually impaired, hearing or mobility challenged this month celebrates YOU and the tremendous background that this month is about, in part because of the Americans With Disabilities legislation that was shepherded by Senator Tom Harken in 1990.
We had the honor to celebrate Tom Harkin this week at the SHRM (Society of Human Resource Professionals) Tharseo Gala in Washington, D.C. His pioneering efforts, inspired to a large extent by his deaf brother, brought much-needed awareness to the employment, civil liberties, and access rights of 42.5 million strong Americans with disabilities, or 13% of the population according to 2021 Census data.
GlobalMindED is honored to work with ability partners like Mike Hess CEO of the Blind Institute of Technology, Diego Mariscal CEO and Chief Disabled person at 2Gether-International, Dr. Amanda Kelly CEO of Firefly Autism and Founder of the Neurodiverse Chamber of Commerce, Nicole and Jason Corder of Diversty-Works and our many corporate partners like Trimble, Salesforce, Microsoft, AT&T, HP and others who prioritize the hiring, development and leadership of ability status talent. Every year at our annual conference, there are numerous examples of people setting the standard from our Inclusive Leader Awards to the sessions throughout the conference. We celebrate the diversity that is within all of us and the joy, light and love that this brings to our multi-faceted world.
