Advancing Disability Inclusion in Idaho

Join a conversation on disability and employment with featured guests Jen Grush-Dale, Justin Skeesuck, and DR Reff.
2025 marks 35 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act — which protects people with disabilities from discrimination and ensures their right to work. People with a disability accounted for about 14% of Idaho’s population and the unemployment rate for people with a disability is about twice the state average.
Join us for an informative and human-centered exploration of disability in the workplace.

Cultural Intelligence: A Path to Belonging in the Workplace
Tuesday, September 16 | 9 am – 11 am | The Wassmuth Center
A conversation with Salome Mwangi, Cultural Broker and Consultant
How do we cultivate our cultural intelligence so that we can build a workplace of belonging?
We must become authentically curious about our own culture first, and in turn extend that curiosity to others.
“Learn how to identify, own, and utilize your own cultural lens and your understanding of others to build and bake Belonging into your professional and personal spaces. Using authentic curiosity, we will explore how you got here and why you show up the way you do. You will hear how you can encourage those around you to do the same. This will allow you to create and maintain Belonging at the center of who you are, dispelling “fitting in” and surface-level changes. “Ready for the splash? Let’s dive right in!” ~ Salome
