Seal Awards Recognition

Keynote Presentation

Earlier this year, a number of CDI Partner companies committed to working the proprietary Disability Inclusion Process, designed by CDI, in an effort to earn the new
Seal of Accomplishment Award.

We live in a world that is increasingly interconnected and diverse, where our actions have the potential to shape the lives of others in profound ways. We will explore the concept of allyship, its significance, and the transformative impact it can have on our communities, workplaces, and society as a whole.
