Rockville, VA - May 3, 2010 -- TecAccess, a leading provider of risk management and accessible Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), has been invited to serve as the keynote speaker at Nashville CABLE´s fifth annual "Power of Inclusion" luncheon and awards program. Representing TecAccess will be Debra Ruh, Founder and CEO of TecAccess, and Sara Ruh, the inspiration for the growing accessibility consulting firm. Power of Inclusion will be held on May 12, 2010 at the Cool Springs Marriott Hotel.
"We´re honored to present at the Power of Inclusion conference," said Ruh. The focus of TecAccess´ presentation will be on the power of individuals with disabilities in the workplace, with special recognition throughout the event for Nashville businesses and non-profit organizations that champion all types of diversity.
Debra Ruh´s presentation will detail how she founded TecAccess in 2001 and how it has since grown into a profitable multi-million dollar company that employs associates with disabilities. TecAccess provides Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions enabling clients to comply with accessibility guidelines and mandates such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, and the soon-to-be-ratified United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
"Debra Ruh´s company has gained a competitive edge by hiring from a larger pool of qualified job talent than many of her peers," said Andrea L. Cooper, Chair of CABLE´s Power of Inclusion Committee. "What´s more, TecAccess is a model for its client companies, turning what potentially could be a regulatory pitfall into a marketplace advantage."
At the May 12 event, winners of CABLE´s third annual "Power of Inclusion Awards" will be revealed, underscoring their achievements during the 2009 calendar year. Nominees are evaluated and selected by CABLE´s panel of experts on Diversity Best Practice. Awards criteria reflect high standards for a diverse workplace, covering hiring practices, efforts to advocate for diversity in the Nashville community and demonstrable achievement resolving inequalities between different segments of the work force.
The Power of Inclusion event has become one of CABLE´s premier annual initiatives, thanks to the support of corporate champions such as presenting sponsor Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) and media sponsor Tennessean Media Group.
