Advocacy areas:
South Dakota has an outstanding--and successful--program that encourages disability hiring and is well on the way to eliminating sub-minimum wages. It features videos of government and business leaders, success stories, and people with disabilities who work, and is integrated into a single-contact program. "The possibilities are endless." How can your congregation, cluster, or district advocate and assist in a similar program? http://abilityforhire.com/ Call for papers that may interest some of our members: https://networks.h-net.org/node/4189/discussions/128439/cfp-academic-bravery
