Announcing 2023 Employer Summit:
Advancing Access & Equity Conference on disability inclusion in the workforce featuring Dominion Energy SC president as keynote
Able South Carolina and Hire Me SC are thrilled to announce the 8th annual Employer Summit, scheduled during National Disability Employment Awareness Month, on Wednesday, October 18, from 10 am to 3 pm. Registrants can attend in person at the Philips Market Center in West Columbia, or online through the event’s virtual platform. The event is brought in part by Dominion Energy.
The Employer Summit is a one-day conference for business managers, executives, and HR professionals ready to hire and retain a workforce inclusive of people with disabilities. The Employer Summit will show businesses how including individuals with disabilities will strengthen their workforce. The 2023 theme, Advancing Access & Equity, will showcase supportive, inclusive policies and practices that benefit employees and employers alike.
This year’s event boasts Keller Kissam, President of Dominion Energy South Carolina, as the keynote speaker. Kissam oversees Dominion Energy’s regulated utility in South Carolina, serving about 1.1 million electric and gas customer accounts.
“One in three South Carolinians have a disability; however, 70% of people with disabilities are unemployed. This is a workforce employers can’t afford to miss out on. To this end, we want any business to have the opportunity to join us, whether that’s in-person or virtual. We hope that our virtual option will allow employers from across the Southeast and nation to attend."
