Disability Employment Awareness Month Poster Artist Announced<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disability Employment Awareness Month has been celebrated in Texas each October since 1999. The Texas Governor\u2019s Committee on People with Disabilities produces a colorful poster for display in businesses, government offices and schools. The posters are intended to spark a conversation about employment of people with disabilities. Artwork for the poster is selected by a submission and judging process and is open to any Texas artist with a disability. Ashley Sattler, from Beaumont, is this year\u2019s poster competition winner. The colored pencil drawing is featured into the design of the poster. Ashley\u2019s artwork embodies the national theme for Disability Employment Awareness Month, AMERICA\u2019S WORKFORCE: EMPOWERING ALL.<\/p>\n

\u201cInclusion in the Industry\u201d<\/a> is Ashley\u2019s personal reminder that a healthy and productive workforce is made up of people of all different abilities. She acknowledges that she has Autism, and faces struggles every day. However, she says \u201cNo one should be prevented from bringing their talents to the table\u2026and I hope this will not stop me from finding a place in the workforce. Inclusion does matter, especially for people like me. I do not let my disability stop me from pursuing what I love most: creating art. It is not just my passion, it is my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of our state\u2019s recognition of Texas Disability Employment Awareness Month, the GCPD promotes the Texas HireAbility Campaign. Texas HireAbility is a partnership between the Texas Workforce Commission, the Texas Governor\u2019s Committee on People with Disabilities and the statewide Workforce Solutions network. HireAbility hopes to raise awareness about the benefits of hiring people with disabilities and highlight the contributions of people with disabilities in the workforce. Each poster includes the twitter hashtag (#TXHireAbility). Resources to promote disability employment awareness activities can be found at www.TXHireAbility.texasworkforce.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
