Initiative
Speakers: Commissioner Christine
Griffin, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, with Linda
Carter Batiste, J.D., JAN

isn't your agency hiring individuals with targeted disabilities??
(Especially when it is so easy!). EEOC's LEAD initiative was
launched to address the alarming decline in the number of individuals
with severe disabilities employed in federal agencies. Through

want to address this problem within their agency, they are not
sure how to address it. Come learn the answer to that question
during this informative session. Attendees will be provided
with nuts and bolts information on the special hiring authorities
and opportunities available for people with disabilities that
officials can put to use immediately. Further, this session
will provide information on how to quickly and effectively accommodate
employees with disabilities at little or no cost!
