The Governor’s Committee on Disability Issues & Employment is seeking nominations for awards to employers who have made extra efforts to recruit, hire, promote and retain employees with disabilities.
The committee awards are in three categories: seven awards to private, public and nonprofit employers; an award to a public or nonprofit employer that sponsors programs or events promoting employment preparation and job skills training for youth with disabilities; and an award to an individual with a disability who has empowered people with disabilities to succeed in the community and workforce.
Nominations are due by Sept. 15. Download a nomination packet at www.esd.wa.gov. For help or to request an application in another format, contact Melinda Johnson, 509-482-3854 or GCDEawards@esd.wa.gov.
