Attend Upcoming Event to Promote Disability Inclusion in the Workplace

Tuesday, May 31 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. eastern time via Zoom

A significant factor behind most employer's misconceptions of blindness and the capability of the blind is lack of exposure. Join the National Federation of the Blind Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Access on Tuesday, May 31 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. eastern time as we seek to dispel myths about blind people in the workplace. The agenda includes a panel discussion with the following industry leaders and experts on blindness.
*     Ronza Othman, President of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland
*     Kristin Patterson of the Maryland Department of Labor
*     Kevan Worley, CEO of Worley Enterprises Inc, Colorado Springs, CO
*     Maurice Peret, manager of employment programs at the National Federation of the Blind

Some misconceptions we plan on breaking:
*     Myth: People with a disability are slower, less productive, and a liability to the company
*     Myth: Companies must stunt innovation to account to accessibility
*     Myth: An employer can require candidates disclose their disability before the interview

There will be time for questions from the audience. Take advantage of this free opportunity.
