Carol Glazer - National Organization on Disability

Join us for a conversation with Carol Glazer, President of the National Organization on Disability (NOD), a private, non-profit organization that promotes the full participation and contributions of America’s 56 million people with disabilities in all aspects of life. NOD focuses on increasing employment opportunities for the 79 percent of working-age Americans with disabilities who are not employed. 

Under Carol’s leadership, NOD has developed important new relationships with the US Army, leading employers, national and local foundations, allied disability organizations and scores of new corporate donors to NOD’s programs. She put in place NOD’s signature employment demonstrations, Wounded Warrior Careers and Bridges to Business. 

We'll talk with Carol about what fuels her passion to serve the disability community, NOD's initiatives including the exciting Disability Employment Tracker, how Federal Contractors are working to meet new regulations regarding implementing Final Rule changes in Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Disability Employment Awareness Month, and much more...
