Disability:IN Wisconsin recognizes Kohl's DiverseAbilities Business Resource Group as Disability:IN Wisconsin's 2024 ERG/BRG of the Year. This award is based on a company’s ERG/BRG’s group for outstanding involvement and participation in Disability:IN Wisconsin programming, organizational commitment to disability inclusion and accessibility, and engagement with Wisconsin's disability and mental health community. Representatives from Kohl's have been active and engaged members of multiple Disability:IN Wisconsin committees. Several representatives from Kohl's have participated as presenters and speakers in our programs, more than 30 Kohl's team members have attended Disability:IN Wisconsin events and programs, and Kohl's has hosted three screenings of Good Friend Inc. documentary, Neurodiversity at Work.

Finally, the results of Kohl's active support for and partnership disability- and mental health-focused service organizations at the local and national level including Runway for Good, NAMI and NAMI Wisconsin, and Best Buddies Wisconsin show the importance and value of active engagement in Wisconsin's disability and mental health community. #WeAreDisabilityINWI image description - a large glass award posed in front of the stage of the 2024 Disability:IN Wisconsin Summit.  Award text Logo for Disability:IN Wisconsin followed by winner, Kohl’s Diverseabilities BRG, 2024 ERG/BRG of the Year 

Congratulations, Jason! Disability:IN Wisconsin recognizes Jason Sprunk Rockwell Automation as the recipient of this year's Derek Smith Leadership Award.
