New Logo and Tagline Created for Upcoming Phoenix Rally!

Aug. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Life Development Institute has selected a new logo and tagline for an upcoming free EmployAbility Rally being held on October 28, 2010 at the Arizona State Capital Mall from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.

“The logo selected to be used for the EmployAbility Rally was chosen because it clearly represents the image of equality, community inclusion, and the business case for abilities-based employment,” said Rob Crawford, CEO of Life Development Institute in Glendale, Arizona. “Our contest had 86 logo designs within the week the contest ran. There were a wide range of ideas with some good design elements, but none were as clear, unambiguous in message and strong as the one selected.”

“The tagline for the rally ‘ New Labels for Building a Better Bottomline’ expresses an initial step in creating better partnerships among & between community organizations, business, government agencies, and job seekers, said Mr. Crawford. “All of whom want the same thing- employment based for individuals with disabilities.”

Beginning in September, Life Development Institute will make a push to bring out as many people with disabilities and those who share the concerns of employing ability to show up for the morning rally. It is a great time to show pride and share common experiences as part of a community-building effort dedicated to updating public perceptions and attitudes towards the capabilities of People with Disabilities.

How to get involved to sustain the Rally?
There is the start of a conversation about joining forces with agencies dedicated to employing capable people with disabilities and businesses looking for qualified candidates through the establishment of an Arizona affiliate of the US Business Leadership Network (USBLN).  

The USBLN is the only national business to business disability organization that serves as the collective voice of over 60 Business Leadership Network affiliates across North America, representing over 5,000 employers. The USBLN helps build workplaces, marketplaces, and supply chains where people with disabilities are respected for their talents, while supporting the development and expansion of its BLN affiliates.

The ability to join forces within the state and the USBLN would be a recognition and support of best practices in the employment and advancement of people with disabilities; enhance the preparedness for work of Arizona youth and students with disabilities; expand direct marketing to consumers with disabilities; and facilitate opportunities for contracting with vendors with disabilities through the development and certification of disability-owned businesses.
