Finally, the presenters will discuss what entrepreneurship means within the context of Employment First policy and legislation. Intended Audience: People with disabilities who have an interest in entrepreneurship, service providers from disability community agencies that provide employment services, business service providers from Small Business Development Centers, policymakers and legislators that have an interest in disability-entrepreneurship, and business leaders that have an interest in learning more about this area and the potential of networking with disabled-owned businesses.
