disABILITY Summit

The Texas Diversity Council is pleased to announce the Sixth Disability Track during the Texas Diversity and Leadership Conference.

The purpose of this summit is to educate and bring awareness to the growing need to incorporate individuals with disabilities into the diversity programs and initiatives of all organizations. In recent years the pool of individuals with a disability has increased exponentially. The audience participating in this summit will benefit from leading experts in this field in our community.
