PresenterPaul Artale
Overview:  One in five Americans has a disability, and despite $1 trillion in annual buying power from this community, most workplaces still fall short of true inclusion. This program goes beyond ADA compliance to reveal the key factors that create genuinely disability-inclusive environments for clients and staff alike.
