A Busy, Busy March

by

March is always a busy month for us because of the Hearts of Glass programming tie-in with Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Our lineup illustrates the diverse range of entities that we work with. Here’s a quick recap of highlights:

  • Syracuse University – an honor to be a part of a highly interdisciplinary discussion hosted by an academic institution leading the way in disability inclusion.
  • PayPal – amazing synergy between our programming and their corporate commitment to disability inclusion, innovation and accessibility; a joy to work with their disability-focused employee resource group, Thrive.
  • Taft College – programming in honor of the 25th anniversary of their Transition to Independent Living Program.
  • New Mexico Developmental Disabilities Planning Council – free-wheeling, fun and engaging conversation with lots of self-advocates.
  • University of Tennessee Health Science Center – multi-faceted conversation engaging the next generation of health care professionals.

We ended 2020 on a high note working with the staff of Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS) and the Bureau of Services for Blind Persons (BSBP). The turnout for the virtual event was amazing with almost 300 attending.

Bill Robinson, Director of the BSBP said, “The message I love about Hearts of Glass is summed up by ‘intentional.’ To create a workforce strategy involving partnership, collaboration, trust and community inclusion, you have to be intentional to begin with.” Tina Fullerton, Director of MRS, added “It demonstrates the work that we are all striving to do together — to create inclusive workforce strategies, strategic partnerships and community inclusion.”
