NATIONAL DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT AWARENESS MONTH
Mr. BURR. Madam President, October is National Disability Employment
Awareness Month. I would like to take a moment to honor IFB Solutions,
headquartered in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC. IFB Solutions has
been operating in North Carolina for over 85 years and over that time
has provided employment to thousands of blind and visually impaired
individuals.
Over their many decades of operation, IFB has helped fill the needs
of the Federal Government with high quality products, delivered on
time, and at a fair market value.
As we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness month, I
applaud IFB Solutions for their commitment to offering employment
opportunities for the blind and visually impaired. It is my hope that
more employers will understand the value of having a diverse workforce
and follow suit.
