Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Each month, SOAR365 collaborates with local independent radio station WRIR to produce and broadcast a radio show and podcast focused on disability.  

Titled “Discussing Disability,” the show features interviews with staff and participants of SOAR365, as well as friends in the disability community, with the goal of bringing disability into daily conversations and to introduce underrepresented perspectives. 

For the October 2024 episode, host of the show, Nate Wise, sat down with two members of the SOAR365 Commercial Grounds team. First up is Randy Britt, Director of Commercial Grounds Operations.

Then, Operations Supervisor for Commercial Grounds, Ashley, joined the show to tell our listeners about her journey as someone with Substance Use Disorder finding meaningful employment with SOAR365.
