October is DisAbility Employment and Awareness Month
The City of Bloomington’s Disability Employment and Awareness Month (DEAM) Committee,
supported by the Human Rights Commission, offers programs in October in observance of
Disability Employment and Awareness Month. The goal of this month-long effort is to provide an
opportunity for employers in our community to learn about the benefits of hiring individuals
with disabilities, and for people with disabilities to learn about job placement, training
programs and community advocacy programs.
About the Disability Employment Awareness Committee
The Disability Employment Awareness Committee (DEAC) is a group of volunteers that works with
businesses, employers and the community to create awareness of the benefits of hiring people
with disabilities. They are supported by the Bloomington Human Rights Commission.
