Session Title: The LEAD (Leadership for the Employment of Americans with Disabilities) Initiative

Speakers: Commissioner Christine Griffin, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, with Linda Carter Batiste, J.D., Disability Law Specialist for the Job Accommodation Network

Session Description: Why isn´t your agency hiring individuals with targeted disabilities?? (Especially when it is so easy!). EEOC´s LEAD initiative was launched to address the alarming decline in the number of individuals with severe disabilities employed in federal agencies. Through LEAD, it has become clear that, while many agency officials want to address this problem within their agency, they are not sure how to address it. Come learn the answer to that question during this informative session. Attendees will be provided with nuts and bolts information on the special hiring authorities and opportunities available for people with disabilities that officials can put to use immediately. Further, this session will provide information on how to quickly and effectively accommodate employees with disabilities at little or no cost!
