The key points for this business case were developed at a CEO forum held in August 2004, at Portland's World Trade Center complex. 15 Oregon businesses representing 100,000 employees and government leadership met to discuss the economic and skill implications of disabilities in the workplace and marketplace. This business case is the first of its kind in Oregon and represents the major areas of importance and leading strategies that came out of this forum. You can view the working papers from the CEO Forum including the PowerPoint presentation "10 Key Statistics about Disabilities and Business" and the reports from the table discussions at www.obln.org.
