2006 Hire Abilities - Hawai‘i Employment Summit: Expanding Workforce Pathways For People with Disabilities

2006 Pacific Rim Post Conference
Waikiki Sheraton, Honolulu Hawai‘i
March 15-16, 2006

Of the many pursuits undertaken by people with disabilities, meaningful employment may be the most important and challenging. The roadblocks to finding a job and then developing a career are formidable. But we know that a disability need not be the defining factor in that person’s life. A disability does not prevent the highest level of achievement and satisfaction when opportunities are fairly and fully afforded. Self-advocates, consumers, and family members bear witness to accomplishments despite the adversities that accompany disabilities.

Please join us at this two-day, post-PACRIM event.
