Due to increased interest, the registration deadline for the EmployAbility Symposium has been extended until Friday, August 11, 2006 at 5 p.m.
The Able Trust will host the first Florida BLN EmployAbility Symposium on Friday, August 18, 2006, in Tampa. Human resource and diversity managers, as well as service providers for persons with disabilities are encouraged to attend. In addition to employer and service provider tracks with top notch speakers, the Symposium will feature The Able Trust's 10th annual Ability Awards luncheon, with nationally recognized comedian, Alex Valdez, as the keynote speaker.
The symposium will feature presentations by representatives from Walt Disney World Co., SunTrust Bank, and Hyatt Corporation who will share strategies about the success their companies have found in hiring people with disabilities. Workshop topics will adress marketing to consumers with disabilities, successful accommodation strategies, tax incentives, and other topics. Service providers in attendance will find out more about funding opportunities, workforce safefy and employer relations. Thanks to the support of HR Florida, the event has been approved for recertification credits for PHR and SPHR through the Human Resource Certificate Institute.
