Inclusion is not about proximity, or simply providing a work opportunity for someone with a disability. Inclusion is the intentional work done to ensure that everyone is welcomed, engaged and supported to be successful in their roles. If your non-profit business or organization is committed to hiring a diverse workforce, this session is for you. We will explore top inclusion strategies that will give your team the tools and confidence to create a culture of inclusion ensuring that persons with diverse abilities are valued (and equal) members of your team.

By attending this seminar, you’ll:

Explore the principles of inclusion to create an environment where ALL can be successful.
Learn disability etiquette and suggested terminology around disability that is positive & empowering.
Leave with concrete steps and tips to bring back to your role (or personal life!).
