The firm had developed an excellent chart showing how the illnesses fall under those two laws. The law firm gave us permission to reprint the charts for BLN and we sent them out to the sites immediately. And Chairman Coelho puts out a quarterly column that we send to the BLN sites who, in turn, see to it that they are published in business periodicals and magazines in their states. The BLN sites are also active in developing more customized materials. For instance, in cooperation with its state chamber of commerce, Florida BLN produced a succinct publication on the ADA, with Florida resources, for distribution within the state.
Guest speakers are also a component of disseminating pertinent information.
Now a lot of the BLN sites are bringing him in to do presentations. A diverse workforce inclusive of workers with disabilities. Most company programs on workforce diversity target minorities and women. The BLN wants employers to expand their horizons. Recognition of exemplary disability employment practices.
