Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), an annual recognition of the positive impact of people with disabilities on the American workforce. This yearly event began in 1945 as a weeklong national observance of the contributions of people with physical disabilities, and has evolved into what we now recognize annually as NDEAM.
The spirit behind NDEAM is to acknowledge and celebrate the diverse value and impact people with disabilities bring to the workforce. The theme for this year’s NDEAM is "Celebrating Value and Talent." Join us in celebrating NDEAM.
