Mayors Office - Office on Disability

A meeting was held February 14, 2007 with Dr. Nollie Wood, Director of the Mayor’s Office on Disability. A number of key government stakeholders attended but due to weather a follow-up meeting is being held March of 2007. The meeting is being held to seek the joining of the Baltimore Cash Campaign and several organizations serving the community with disabilities. This project will service working people with disabilities by assisting them with asset development, asset planning, tax preparation, and financial-tax education. The Commission’s goal is to link accessible facilities and technologies (i.e interpreters) with trusting disability providers with Baltimore City Government, NDI and the IRS to outreach to the disabled community. The Mayor’s Commission is also hosting a Disabilities Business Forum in April 2007 with the date to be announced.
