October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!

Happy October 1st! Our "Indian Summer" seems to have come and past in San Francisco. Colder weather, pumpkins, warm soup and Halloween seem to be on the mind of everyone. The arrival of October not only marks these traditional images, but also the designated month when our country celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities during the National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM).

Read the reflections of Kathleen Martinez, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Policy, on the significance of NDEAM 2010. Assistant Secretary Martinez will be speaking next Wednesday, October 6th, at CVE's Legislative Breakfast via teleconference from Washington, D.C.
 
Download NDEAM 2010 posters and print to hang in your One Stops today! For the first time, the posters are also available as downloadable versions in six additional languages: Arabic, Chinese, Russian, French, and two Native American languages: Navajo, Lakota.
