Dear Friends,
It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the next meeting of the Presidential Task
Force on
Employment of Adults with Disabilities to be held on December 14, 1998 from 9:00 a.m. to
2:00
p.m. The Task Force is honored that Vice President Al Gore has accepted our
invitation to
participate at this meeting.
We are pleased to announce the publication and official release of Re-charting the
Course--First Report of the Presidential Task Force on Employment of Adults with
Disabilities.
Through significant effort and extraordinary commitment of dozens of people from
government
agencies and the Executive Office of the President a strategy is emerging. This
strategy
identified throughout Re-charting the Course is a beginning toward the development of a
comprehensive plan to be finalized and fully operational by July 26, 2002 the tenth
anniversary
of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The December 14, 1998 agenda will include stimulating presentations and discussions
related to
employment of adults with disabilities. Chairs of the Section 2 Work Groups, as mandated
by
Executive Order, will present summaries of the highlights of their findings. The Work
Group
reports are included in Appendix A of Re-charting the Course.
Re-charting the Course displays the commitment of the multiple federal agencies
collaborating,
thinking creatively across traditional boundaries and turf. Task Force members are
committed to
building alliances and working as partners with adults with disabilities, business and
industry, employers, families, and other interested persons, realizing that coalitions are
one
of the keys to building a future workforce that truly reflects America.
We hope you will be able to attend this important meeting. The meeting will take place
at the
Ronald Reagan Building and the International Trade Center, Atrium Ballroom, 1300
Pennsylvania
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. If you require additional information, please call
Lori
Peterson at 202-219-6081.
Sincerely,
Rebecca L. Ogle
Executive Director
Presidential Task Force on Employment of Adults with Disabilities
