Best Practices on Hiring Individuals with Disabilities: Driving Outcomes by Maximizing Abilities

In this session you'll hear from business leaders who have expanded their talent base to include individuals with disabilities.  In partnership with service providers who partnered with them to assure success of the employee, discussions will include what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently.

Audience - Chief Business Leaders who can influence a change in business and recruitment strategies.  The focus is on companies of 500 or less employees.

Goal -  Peer-to-peer dialogue around employing individuals with disabilities in an effort to change the perception of attendees to become receptive in looking at different pools of talent that may include individuals with disabilities.
