                        Cabinet Declares

                        Disability Employment

                        Awareness Month



                        On September 18, Governor Rick Scott and the Florida 
Cabinet approved a resolution declaring October as Disability Employment 
Awareness Month in Florida.



                        Attorney General Pam Bondi introduced the resolution 
at the Cabinet meeting designating October as a time to focus on employing 
people with disabilities.



                        A 20-year employee of Chemring Ordnance in Perry, 
Alma Candis, addressed the governor and Cabinet on the importance of 
including people with disabilities in the workforce.



                        Along with Candis, the top leaders from the Agency 
for Persons with Disabilities, Vocational Rehabilitation, Blind Services, 
Veterans' Affairs, Department of Economic Opportunity, Governor's Commission 
on Jobs for Floridians with Disabilities, and the Able Trust accepted the 
resolution.



                        In celebration of the month, APD and its partner 
agencies will host a recognition event on October 18 to recognize seven 
businesses as Exceptional Employers of the Year

                        .

                        Exceptional employers are businesses from around the 
state that are committed to hiring and retaining employees with 
disabilities. The City of Tallahassee and Able Trust are helping to sponsor 
the event.



                        Governor Rick Scott, Cabinet members, and other 
community leaders have been invited to participate and recognize the 
contributions of people with disabilities to the workforce.



                        The event will be held at the Tallahassee City 
Commission Chambers, 300 South Adams Street. Information displays will be in 
the Second Floor Mezzanine beginning at 8:30 a.m. The employer recognition 
will begin at 9:30 a.m.



                        To RSVP for the event or request an accommodation, 
call (850) 488-4257.
