Employment Horizons, an innovative nonprofit agency assists individuals with disabilities to develop job skills and attain employment and economic independence through collaboration and partnership with businesses, academic institutions, and government. Utilizing its core business programs to provide work opportunities for individuals with disabilities in the greater Morris County area, Employment Horizons continues to make progress in removing stigmas and barriers that have impeded progress for many with disabilities.

Christine Conti-Collins and Dan Collins will serve as the event’s Honorary Chairpersons. “Dan and I have spent the better part of our careers in environments that emphasized productive work and investments in time and training of the staff,” said Conti-Collins. “We know the value of those investments, and believe that what we do with Employment Horizons is the same kind of investment, an investment in people. The clients here obviously benefit from that investment, and it’s seen in the pride they take in their work assignments.”
