ALEXANDRIA, Va.–NCUA said it will host a webinar on the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 23.
The webinar will allow credit unions to join a meaningful conversation on the importance of financial inclusion for persons with disabilities, the agency said. The webinar will be at 2 p.m. ET.
“As we commemorate the anniversary of the ADA, the NCUA reaffirms its commitment to creating an inclusive work environment for all employees and ensuring equal access to the 12.2% of our staff who report having a disability,” said NCUA Chairman Rodney E. Hood. “We are committed to providing access to services, tools, and needed resources to perform their jobs effectively and reach their full career potential.”
During the webinar, the agency said Hood will discuss how organizations can expand their efforts to ensure the disabled have equal access to opportunities and resources with Michael Morris, director of the National Disability Institute, and Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi, a disabilities rights advocate and president of RespectAbility.
