Commissioners adopt proclamation recognizing National Disability Employment Awareness Month
Summary
Cameron County commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation declaring October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month and noted an Oct. 21 event in Ridgeway hosted by Journey Health and Dickinson Center to highlight vocational successes.
Chair announced that Marsha Dibble of Journey Health and Dickinson Center could not attend but had provided materials and a proclamation recognizing National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and asked commissioners to consider adopting it later in the meeting.
"The proclamation declaring the month of October as National disability employment awareness month is a significant step towards recognizing the talents and abilities that disabled individuals can contribute to the community and to the workforce," the Chair said when introducing the item. Commissioners later moved, seconded and approved the proclamation by voice vote.
The proclamation highlights Dickinson Center’s event set for Oct. 21 at 10 a.m. in Ridgeway to celebrate vocational successes of program participants and staff. The board and staff encouraged community participation and noted that employment-support services aim to reduce reliance on government benefits by expanding competitive employment opportunities.
