Every October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) recognizes the achievements and contributions of people with disabilities in the American workforce.
NDEAM traces its history to 1945, when Congress established a weeklong observance recognizing workers with physical disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the observance to a month and renamed it NDEAM. Learn more.
This year, as America marks its 250th birthday, the NDEAM theme is “Celebrating Value and Talent.” From Robyn Lipschutz, who works at a preschool, to Tamara Morales, who works as an office clerk, people across the Citizens community bring their skills, talent, and experience to the workplace every day.
Help us celebrate their contributions. Email stories to connectwithus@citizens-inc.org or tag Citizens Options Unlimited on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.
Stay tuned for more inspiring NDEAM stories!
