These members include major international corporations, local rehabilitation service organizations, state and regional programs, national and local labor organizations, state rehabilitation agencies, state and national trade associations, school transition programs, disability specific organizations, mental health centers, and organizations which provide services to people with disabilities who are seeking competitive employment. These agencies represent the wide variety of organizations providing employment related services to persons with disabilities. They all include, however, representatives of the business and labor communities as active programatic participants in their employment services. Most major metropolitan areas are well represented and there are regional and statewide programs covering all states, including many rural areas. They are elected annually, on a rotating basis, by the membership.
Bylaws require geographic distribution and representation of all segments of the membership.
