Eleversity

Eleversity was proud to host the 2025 Employment and Vocational Services Leadership Conference in Albany, NY earlier this month. We welcomed more than 250 leaders from across New York State for thoughtful discussion on Executive Order 40: Employment First, as well as insights from the business community on advancing competitive community employment. Employment First is a state-level policy that establishes meaningful, integrated employment for people with disabilities as a primary goal.

Thank you to all who joined us in this important work!
