Who We Are

Community of Accessible Employers

The Community of Accessible Employers is an open and entirely free network for employers who are committed to inclusion in the workplace.

In 2018, the Presidents Group launched the Community of Accessible Employers, which gives employers beyond the 25 appointed members the chance to join the movement to accessible employment and access individualized support from the staff members.

The Community of Accessible Employers currently provides employer-focused tools, resources, and access to training and events for BC employers on how to effectively recruit, hire, and retain employees with disabilities.

We encourage businesses of all sizes who are committed to learning and growing their knowledge of accessible employment of people with disabilities to join our Community of Accessible Employers.

Presidents Group

Formed in 2013, the Presidents Group is a network of 25 change-driven BC business leaders who are champions for more accessible, inclusive workplaces.

The Presidents Group is an advisory committee for BC’s Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction. They meet quarterly to share best practices amongst one another and share business perspectives on inclusive employment to the Ministry.

Leaders of businesses of all different sizes and sectors, and business models, are represented and nearly 60,000 British Columbians are employed at the Presidents Group’s 25 member organizations.
