VCU RRTC

Mr. Neil Romano will discuss the value of hiring individuals with disabilities from a business perspective. He will explore such pertinent business issues as: Can hiring people with disabilities actually increase a business' market share? Would an employee with a disability fit in with my other employees? And, will they be accepted by my customers and clients?

Mr. Romano is considered among the nation's leading authorities in the field of media and public advocacy. In 2003, Mr. Romano founded America's Strength Foundation, a private organization designed to help people with disabilities find main-stream employment. Through America's Strength, he has become an important source of information and assistance on how individuals with disabilities and related agencies can build stronger relationships with the business community.
