Abstract: For something to be visible, it must be perceptible to the senses, constantly and frequently in thoughts and actions. Nothing is more disheartening than to hear a company say "we do equity." It is just like hearing "we do inclusion." The act of doing becomes
more like checking a box than acknowledging that both are philosophies rooted in visible practices and are paramount to ensuring continuous improvement. During this keynote, I will give life to the terminology of "visible equity" and introduce four tenets
that build a framework for interventions useful for everyone to achieve visible equity for employees with disabilities.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
