<P>Georgetown University is proud to recognize the many strides of
the past two decades in achieving greater freedom and independence
for millions of people with disabilities, and to look ahead to an
even brighter future for the disabilities movement. Today,
Georgetown University hosts the <STRONG>Third Georgetown University
Conference on Employment of People with Disabilities</STRONG>
examining the challenges and opportunities in the area of employment
of people with disabilities. As part of the conference, panels
of experts in the areas of public policy, business, federal
contracting, and technology will examine the history and future of
disability employment. During this month of November, when we, as a
country, honor our veterans, we place a particular emphasis on those
veterans who return home with a disability and their need, like all
Americans, for full employment.<BR><BR>The disabilities movement in
America has been, at its core, an effort to gain full participation
of its citizens. It has been an attempt to achieve not special
rights, but basic liberties so that every individual, regardless of
ability, has access to mainstream American life. People with
disabilities are not a separate part of America, but rather
intricate threads in the fabric of American life. One of the
critical issues in achieving greater freedom for everyone is the
enhancement of their independence through greater
employment. <BR><BR>Each year Georgetown
University presents the <STRONG>Human Spirit Award</STRONG> to the
person or persons who have made an outstanding contribution to the
independence and employment of people with disabilities. This
year we are honored to present the Human Spirit Award to two
outstanding individuals, <STRONG>Tom Donohue</STRONG> and
<STRONG>Randy Lewis</STRONG>.</P>
<P><STRONG>Tom Donohue</STRONG><BR>Thomas J. Donohue is president
and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Since assuming his
position, Donohue has built the Chamber into a lobbying and
political powerhouse with expanded influence across the globe. Mr.
Donohue’s commitment to the disability rights movement go back
decades. One of his first jobs was with Dr. Henry Viscardi,
the legendary disability rights activist and founder of the National
Center for Disability Services. A signature project of the Donohue’s
Campaign for Free Enterprise is Hiring Our Heroes, which identifies
job opportunities for returning military veterans and spouses.
<BR><BR><STRONG>Randy Lewis</STRONG><BR>During Randy Lewis’s tenure
at Walgreens, the company grew from 1,500 to 8,000 stores with the
most advanced logistics network in its industry. Mr. Lewis
pioneered a disability employment model in Walgreen’s
distribution centers serves as a model for other companies in the US
and internationally. Over his career Lewis has worked to live out
his belief that excellence, people, and community are the
cornerstones of effective business leadership. His book, <EM>No
Greatness without Goodness</EM>, is scheduled for release in
April.</P>
