Recording 1	Recording 2 – Continuation

What do employees and customers who are Disabled, are LGBTQA+, and/or a Veteran have in common? In today’s unprecedented times, it’s more than ever. This year, Disability Connect event will focus on three important, high-stakes topics:

Race
The Pandemic
Political Landscape

Each focus area will be explored as it pertains to individually and across multiple constituencies. We’ll address the impact of these issues on the:

Individual
Workplace
Marketplace
Society

This one-day, completely interactive event will be delivered via livestream.

Participants include:

Employee/Business Resource Group (E/BRG) Leaders and Members
E/BRG Executive Sponsors and Allies
Inclusion and Diversity professionals
Corporate executives and managers interested in the intersectionality of these three important constituencies, especially as it relates to Race, The Pandemic, and the Political Landscape.

Disability Connect is the perfect platform for which to make powerful connections, share best and next practices, and formulate success strategies aligning with the theme of Communities in Common.

Year-after-year, attendees say they leave the Disability Connect Forum with a broader perspective; inspired to collaborate in ways they never thought imaginable.

I look forward to sharing this most impactful day with each and every one of you.
