Breaking the Inclusive Employment Glass Ceiling
Voices for Inclusive Employment
Our mission to expand inclusive employment for those with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities is both what we practice—and how we believe the world should be. In addition to employing an inclusive workforce, we encourage other employers to follow our lead. BeanZ & Co. co-founders Kim Morrison and Noelle Alix are pleased to speak at local and national events that advance the inclusive employment movement.
For availability via Zoom and in person, and for speaker fees, contact Kim Morrison at info@beanzandco.com.
