Profiles of Americans with Disabilities at EPA

In the United States, National Disability Employment Awareness Month is observed during the month of October to honor the contributions of Americans with disabilities to our nation.

At EPA, we are highlighting some of our employees with disabilities who contribute daily to our mission of protecting human health and the environment. We appreciate their efforts in responding to the many environmental challenges we face.

We hope that these profiles will serve as an inspiration to others who are interested in protecting our planet.

Together, we can work to make a difference in our communities to achieve a healthier and more sustainable environment for all today and for future generations.
