Martinez, Kathleen,
Assistant Secretary for Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP)
“It is heartening and encouraging to see the Federal Government working to become a model employer of people with disabilities. I encourage organizations in the private sector to do the same – to step up and be a model employer. Advancing employment opportunities for people with disabilities strengthens not only America's economy, but also its ideals. It creates a more inclusive America where every person is recognized for his or her accomplishments.”
Kathy Martinez, Assistant Secretary for Disability Employment Policy, U.S. Department of Labor
Advancing Disability Employment: A Labor Day Call-to-Action - August 26, 2010“ODEP and ETA will work together to ensure that the workforce development system implements universal design strategies for all providers, thus opening doors to many individuals previously untapped as workers in the green economy.”

“Advancing employment opportunities and expectations for people with disabilities strengthens not only America's economy, but our moral fiber. It creates a more inclusive America, one where every person is recognized for his or her accomplishments — and that should be our goal not just on Labor Day but every day.”
Kathy Martinez, Labor Day Message - September 7, 2009
