[Jobs] New Freedom Award to Honor Programs That Advance Employment of People With Disabilities

[Everett Gavel]

Hello List,

I believe the NFB national office could apply for this
one (And I'm going to assume the right people there
will find out about this award notice if they don't
already know, since some fine people from Baltimore are
on this list *smile*).  But what about the rest of us
here?  Do you know anyone who might be eligible for
this award?  Please pass it along.


To Successfull Access!
