Clermont County proclaims October 2025 as Disability Employment Awareness Month
Summary
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners issued a proclamation recognizing October 2025 as National Disability Employment Awareness Month, presented a certificate to a local worker and highlighted county and state efforts to expand inclusive employment.
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 8 proclaimed October 2025 as Disability Employment Awareness Month and presented a certificate to Levi, a local worker, in a short recognition at the start of the regular meeting.
The proclamation, read and presented by David L. Painter, president of the Clermont County Board of Commissioners, cites the national observance and Ohio’s Employment First initiative and calls on county employees, partners and stakeholders to support workplace inclusion and accessibility. The signed proclamation lists Painter as president, Bonnie J. Bachelor as vice president and Claire Corcoran as commissioner of the board.
Lisa Davis and Amber Ramsey from the county agency supporting people with developmental disabilities joined Levi at the commissioners' podium. A county representative noted that Levi works at a local Golden Corral and thanked community partners for helping place and support employees with disabilities.
Why it matters: The proclamation recognizes contributions of workers with disabilities and calls attention to county and state efforts to expand inclusive employment practices and supports for people with disabilities.
What was said and presented
Painter read the proclamation language recognizing the contributions of workers with disabilities and the 2025 theme “celebrating value and talent.” The proclamation references Ohio’s Employment First initiative and calls for activities that promote understanding and opportunity for workers with disabilities.
Lisa Davis (present at the podium with agency staff) expressed appreciation to the commissioners for the recognition and noted partnerships with private agencies and the state Office for Ohioans with Disabilities that assist with employment services and supports. The meeting record also notes that Amber Ramsey and family members accompanied Levi for the presentation.
Meeting context and next steps
The presentation was brief, included a photo opportunity, and occurred as part of the board’s consent/ceremonial agenda. No formal vote was required beyond acceptance of the consent agenda. The record lists county staff who attended the presentation and encouraged public awareness and involvement in employment efforts for people with disabilities.
