Opening Doors: How Inclusive Hiring Drives Workplace Success

Building a strong, dependable workforce is a top priority for every business owner—yet one of our region’s most dedicated talent pools often goes untapped. Hiring adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) delivers real operational benefits, boosting team morale, retention, and overall productivity.

To help local leaders explore these opportunities, Lakemary Center and Inclusion Connections invite you to a complimentary luncheon: Opening Doors: Inclusive Jobs for Adults with I/DD.

What You’ll Learn:

• Real Employer Insights: Hear from a panel of local executives, including Laurie Minard, VP of Human Resources at Garmin.

• No Job Requisition Needed: Learn how specialists help identify specific tasks in your existing operations to create custom, high-value roles for individuals or small work teams.

• Community Connection: Network over lunch with peers dedicated to building stronger, more inclusive workplaces.

• Date & Time: Thursday, September 3rd | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
