The Business Advisory Council (BAC) is a group of local business and community professionals whose mission is to advance and increase employment options and opportunities for local residents who have developmental disabilities. Council members serve as mentors and ambassadors to promote the diversification of the workforce through the inclusion of workers with disabilities. They also provide job seekers opportunities to practice workplace skills, holding mock interviews, job “trials” and give job seekers feedback on how to present themselves in a professional manner.
For more information on joining the Business Advisory Council, contact Steve Blanks at sblanks@seeconline.org.
