Employment First
Thursday, November 19, 2026
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Join me and Whitney Malone, Employment First Business Liaison - Office of the Chief Disability Officer to discuss Employment First. Governor Kathy Hochul signed Executive Order 40 establishing New York as an Employment First (E1st) state in September,2024. E1st is a national movement built upon the principle that employment should be the first and preferred option for people being served by our disability public health system, and that Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) be not just a primary goal, but an expectation, even for those with the most significant disabilities. All registrants will be sent a link to the slides after they are posted on the Business Council website. Please feel encouraged to reach out to us for questions or further discussion.
Thank you to our Title Sponsor, Equus Advisors! And our Event Sponsor Coughlin & Gerhart!
