About NDEAM
NDEAM is a time to recognize the contributions people with disabilities bring to Oregon’s workplaces and economy. It’s also a time to recognize businesses with supportive workplace policies and practices for people with disabilities.
“Celebrating value and talent” is the theme of the 2025 national campaign, led by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy. In Oregon, we see this theme play out every month of the year in the countless ways people with disabilities bring value to their jobs and communities.
For ideas about how your organization can support NDEAM, visit the Department of Labor’s NDEAM web page. However you choose to take part, you’ll be playing an important role in fostering a workplace where every person is recognized for their abilities — every day of every month.
