“Building the New Workforce
to look like America creates employment opportunities for people with
disabilities and makes our nation stronger. I commend the work the USBLN®
and its partners are doing to prepare our country’s future workforce.”
Karen M. Czarnecki, J.D.
Acting Assistant Secretary for Disability Employment Policy
"If you read business management
"best-practice" books, you see the leading corporation names repeated. If
you participated in the USBLN Annual Conference, you saw these same corporations.
Coincidence or "best practice?" USBLN participants demonstrated to others
how disability and employment should be done. Learning from the best is a
practice I'll gladly use."
Philip A. Hyssong, Managing Partner
Alternative Communication Services, LLC
“You did an amazing job. I don't
know how you physically kept it together. It was the first USBLN I attended
and I was inspired. Many opportunities to network and to learn. Your key
note speakers were unforgettable.”
