Employment and Self-Employment in Small Towns and Rural Areas
Ashlea Lantz, a nationally recognized policy leader specializing in disability employment and relationship-based job development will discuss the challenges, opportunities, and solutions encountered in creating meaningful employment pathways in small towns. Her presentation will also include lived experience, having supported her sister Em in leaving subminimum wage employment to launch Em’s Coffee Co., a thriving small business that has become a model for rural self-employment success.
