Manufacturers setting a high bar for employee engagement by employing people with disabilities.

October 29, 2014/

On Manufacturing Day, I went to Acadia Windows and Doors in Eastern Baltimore County.

Acadia, a 78-person company, was one of four companies invited by the National Governor’s Association to address members because of Acadia’s success employing people with disabilities. (The other three were Fortune 500 companies.)

This view is evident in the people they hire.
