Welcome!

It is our pleasure to invite you to join us at the upcoming
USBLN Summit 2003!

Companies throughout the U.S. are striving to bring awareness, inclusion
and innovation into their workplaces for people with disabilities.
Often, we are looking for a balance somewhere between
"the right thing to do" and "the bottom line."

The theme for this year's conference is Imagine.
We believe that actions to achieve an inclusive workplace that includes
awareness and innovation for people with disabilities can only begin with
a vision and the ability to imagine what the future can hold.

Imagine: A future workplace, accessible and accommodating,
that optimizes the success of the company.
It is not about "either - or." It is about "both - and."

The committees of USBLN Summit 2003 have done an outstanding job developing a conference that is timely and informative. We have an unique conference agenda that is packed with two and half days of workshops, panels, and roundtable discussions conducted by employers, specialists and representatives of disability and government organizations/agencies
that will leave all of us more informed and inspired.
You are not going to want to miss out this year!

We will be having some very special exhibits that are structured to maximize vendor exposure and offer more networking opportunities amongst
exhibitors and conference participants.

We are delighted to have support from Intel, Sun, IBM, Amgen, Union Bank, California Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, California Employment Development Department, and U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy. Their commitment to work jointly with us reflects their dedication to provide workplaces with solutions and strategies in making workplaces accessible for people with disabilities.

Please register today! We look forward to seeing you
this November in San Francisco!

Thank you,
