Today as we mark the 36th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act we wanted to share some comments from two members of our Employment team from their recent appearance on the podcast for the Office for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging of the New York City Bar Association.

Johnadam has been with Job Path since 2018 after a successful career in the world of business, and regularly leverages his experience there in advocating for employment for Job Path participants. Dara says her thinking on disability in the context of social justice was inspired by colleague Merry-Reid Sheffer when they co-presented at a Customized Employment conference in 2024.

Although society has made plenty of positive strides in the past 36 years, Job Path will continue to be at the forefront of all the work that still needs to be done as we look to the future.

She assists residents and their families with everything from routine medical care to coordinating with private providers, to planning for the future - as part of our Strategic Plan’s priority of Aging with Dignity.
