Despite all the conversations, policy, press, and general fanfare around the DEI movement, something is missing. The largest minority group in the population, which continues to be dramatically under-represented in the workforce and intersects at an equal percentage with all population demographics is frequently absent: people with disabilities.

Our colleagues at the Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s Discover Ability Network invite you to join them for a discussion about how DEI cannot be accomplished without including people with disabilities as a core component of the movement, and why employment is the area of greatest return.

Featuring subject matter experts, this webinar is a must attend for any organization with a DEI policy or working in the DEI space!

Panelists:

Neil Belanger (Maluu’m Amxsiwaa) - Chief Executive Officer of the British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society.

Andrea Rutherford - Program Coordinator for the Developmental Services Worker Program at Humber College.

Bob Vansickle - Former Manager of Employment Services at Community Living Sarnia-Lambton, currently operates 'Bob Vansickle Training & Consulting’ to provide operational planning and training to engage managers and team members to learn and develop the strategies and skills to lead, manage and deliver highly successful employment services.
