    What a treat it was to learn about the incredible work of Canine Companions? at our Q3 meeting at Southwest Airlines last week! ?? Agatha and her puppy trainer Michelle Williams demonstrated the LUV and dedication of service-dogs like herself. Lauren Litterall and Michelle both provided valuable insights, including details about Canine Companions as an organization, a leader in the service dog industry that has been dedicated to supporting people with disabilities in living with greater independence since their founding in 1975! We were also joined by Accenture's Accessibility Center pop-up, a mobile version of their program that offers leading-edge technologies and encourages technology accessibility with their partners, suppliers and organizations seeking support in advancing accessibility for their employees. Read more about Accenture’s Accessibility Center of Excellence through a detailed Disability:IN article published on their website in 2021: https://lnkd.in/gi7D-ckW We certainly hope that our attendees walked away with new knowledge and a continued appreciation for workplace inclusion and accessibility. If you had to miss this one, we hope to see you at our Q4 event at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas on Oct. 24 focused on disability-focused employee resource groups! More information to come.

    Happy Disability Pride Month! What are you celebrating this month? Let us know in the comments! Image description: Four square teal blue slides with light pink and white text. Slide one: Happy Disability Pride Month! An illustration of two people, one a wheelchair user, dancing and wearing disco attire. Slide two: What is Disability Pride Month? Disability Pride Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the history, accomplishments, experiences and challenges of the disability community. It’s celebrated in July because it coincides with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a groundbreaking law that removed obstacles to inclusion on July 26, 1990. Slide three: How You Can Support: Learn about the history of the Disability Rights Movement. Attend a disability pride month event. Donate to disability rights organizations. Hire people with disabilities. Write or call elected officials to advocate for people with disabilities and demand policies to support disability rights. Slide four: Disability rights, inclusion, accessibility and pride are important every month of every year. The NDI logo is centered at the bottom of the graphic. #DisabilityAdvocacy #DisabilityRights #DisabilityPride #Disability #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityPrideMonth

    We are proud to celebrate and recognize Disability Pride Month! It's a poignant reminder that valuing difference and leading with inclusion and belonging are principles that we all must reaffirm and remain committed to. And while the community in the United States has made much progress since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), there is more work to be done. Data from the Center for Research on Disability shows that "the labor force participation rate for people with disabilities sits at 32.8%; compared to 77.1% for those without disabilities." Our businesses, communities, and society cannot afford to lose on the talent, experience, and unique perspective that people with disabilities bring. Today, and everyday, we must ensure our workplaces are accessible and inclusive. We must ensure our workplace cultures lead with belonging so people with disabilities can show up to work as their authentic selves and thrive. For those asking how I can be an ally to the community, we strongly encourage you to follow your intellectual curiosity, seek knowledge, do your own research, and build empathy. A great place to start is by following organizations like Disability:IN which is leading the way in disability inclusion in the workplace. #BusinessOfBelonging
