People with disabilities, their families, friends and people who serve them are invited to attend this open forum and give their experiences about what is keeping them from getting a job.

Now is the time to hear from people with disabilities themselves about how to make positive change. All testimony will be recorded and a summary will be prepared. The final report will include recommendations to improve gainful employment for people with all types of disabilities. It will be shared with people who can make a difference – service providers, legislators, government officials, employers and others.

The forum is free and open to the public. Come ready to provide oral or written testimony, or to support those who are presenting. The event will open with a keynote speaker and lunch will be provided.

For further details as they become available and registration information, please send your name and email address to: axiscenter@aol.com.
