Biography

We at Springboard are so excited to be producing the Third Annual Disability Connect event for and about Corporate Disability, LGBT and Veterans Business Resource Group members, leaders and their sponsors. Hailed as the premier business event for addressing the issues and opportunities that impact one, two or all three groups in the workplace; expectations are great, but the reality will be even greater.

Disability Connect is the perfect platform for which to make powerful connections, share best practices and formulate strategies aligning with the theme of Communities in Common. The majority of the day is highly interactive, sharing experiences and exchanging ideas with your peers, across all three constituency groups.

Here are just some of the comments from last year’s post-event survey.

• "Great best practices shared."
• "Format was great, really kept the energy flowing and allowed participants to engage fully.
• Fantastic energy."
• "Loved the table discussions and the mix of people by moving to different tables for different topics."
• "This event far exceeded expectations – it was like no other I have attended and I go to a lot of events."
• "Lessons learned were invaluable."
• "One of the most effective conferences we have attended."
• "Great forum for engagement and learning."
• "Loved the entire day."

In addition to learning from one another, you will be sure to be inspired by our keynote presenter.

AGENDA

The Third Annual Disability Connect Forum

Disability, LGBT and Veteran Business Resource Groups (BRG’s) share many issues in common that when we come together, can provide for bigger better opportunities and impact.  At the same time, these three groups experience different issues and/or concerns that we can and should learn from.  As we address the following topics, Forum participants will want to consider their groups’ unique issues or concerns, ideas that have and/or have not worked and why and relative impact to their constituency, BRG, company and in some cases, customers and larger community. As Forum participants gain an understanding of each other's needs and experiences, you will also want to consider opportunities for collaboration between the three groups.

The agenda below represents the six areas of focus for the day, along with some of the topics that will be addressed within each area. For each topic, the group will discuss:

• What’s unique or similar across the three constituencies.
• Past successes and challenges.
• What the BRG’s role is as it relates to serving as a company resource vs. providing direct guidance or programming.
• How best to impact change.
• BRG accountability to the company, constituency and community.
