Nominations are due Aug. 20 for awards that recognize workers with disabilities and workplaces that support them.
The Lancaster County Employment Coalition and The Arc Lancaster Lebanon are running the awards to highlight National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October.
âWe do this so that individuals with disabilities feel a sense of pride,â said Maureen Westcott, executive director of The Arc Lancaster Lebanon and co-chair of the Lancaster County Employment Coalition. âAlso, so they know the community recognizes them, not because of the disability but because of what they give to the community.â
Anyone can nominate a worker or workplace by filling out the nomination form at www.thearclancleb.org.
