Conference 2011 Videos
Two years ago WERC had the privilege of having Randy Lewis on our main stage at Conference 2008. Telling his story of putting the "able" into "disabled" inspired and moved our audience and was a powerful message about the heart of our industry and how small changes can lead to BIG results.
This year, Randy will be with us again to update us on the Walgreens initiative to hire people with disabilities. "We’d be glad to share what we’ve learned from the human resources side with anybody. A lot of people have taught us a lot of things, and we’ll be glad to share what we learned. I’m very interested in talking to my peers at the WERC Conference who want to do something like this. It’s not as hard as they think, and it makes a big difference. "
