New Jersey Labor Commissioner David Socolow was our distinguished keynote for our 20th Year Anniversary Gala held on May 15, 2009 at the Historic Governor's Mansion in Princeton, New Jersey.

"The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development has the privilege of helping individuals with disabilities achieve equal opportunity to enter today's workforce," said New Jersey Labor Commissioner David J. Socolow. "Economic independence is achievable through participation in the workforce and is made possible by the public-private partnerships we have made with cutting-edge service agencies like Community Options, Inc."

"We've seen great progress for workers with disabilities in the 90 years of the public Vocational Rehabilitation program", said New Jersey Labor Commissioner David J. Socolow. "We are now on the leading edge of selfemployment and entrepreneurial ventures thanks to our public-private partnership with agencies like Community Options, Inc."
