14th Annual MD Works Employment Awards Luncheon: The Breaking Barriers Masquerade

In October we observe National Disability Employment Awareness Month. As community service providers and workforce professionals it is imperative that we focus our efforts on being truly inclusive and providing opportunities to all. The Employment Awards Luncheon not only provides an opportunity to celebrate successes achieved through our collective efforts; it also raises awareness to the barriers faced by individuals with a disability and sets the stage for future workforce efforts. This year's event, themed "The Breaking Barriers Masquerade", will highlight individuals and organizations that have done an exceptional job of overcoming and conquering obstacles in the areas of employment and self-sufficiency.

Great strides have been achieved in workforce conditions and business ownership opportunities among people with disabilities, but we still have much work to do. People with disabilities continue to experience some of the highest levels of inequity, which lead to unemployment and underemployment. So, to that point join us at MD LIVE! with your best business attire and masquerade mask on October 30. We are looking forward to seeing you there!!!
