This year’s US BLN Conference again will feature training by JAN Consultants. The Conference will also provide the venue for JAN’s 25th Anniversary Celebration featuring comedian, Paralympic ski racer and nationally known motivational speaker, Josh Sundquist. The Conference will also serve as a preview to the launch of the winning video from the Campaign for Disability Employment Policy’s “What Can You Do?” campaign to increase the value of people with disabilities in the workplace. A public service announcement developed by Campaign members will also be screened.
