Let's Do This
Our vision is to create a more inclusive world - where people with disabilities are seen, heard, understood, accepted, and respected. And where employment rates for people with disabilities aligns with the rest of the population. To achieve these goals, we need to:
-
Dismantle stigma around disability
-
Drive awareness and understanding of all abilities
-
Show the extraordinary things people with disabilities can and are doing in business and life
-
Close the wealth gap for people with disabilities
-
Create jobs and foster long-term pipelines to work
-
The Victor Wear Expo is an annual event that aims to achieve all these goals - for you and for our disability community. But we can’t do it without you.
