Event Description 3M Fall Protection In Red Wing Named Outstanding Disability Employer By Minnesota Organization For Habilitation And Rehabilitation
Nominated by ProAct, Inc., 3M Fall Protection was named an Outstanding Disability Employer by the Minnesota Organization for Habilitation and Rehabilitation, MOHR, during National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October. This valuable partnership with ProAct, Inc. is being recognized as a model for other employers. The Award Presentation will be 9:30AM, October 17 at 3M (3833 Sala Way) with Representative Barb Haley and the Red Wing Chamber.
 
“Employers who hire individuals with disabilities and work crews are important partners in our efforts to provide person-centered services that improve people’s lives in Minnesota,” said Julie Johnson, president of MOHR. The organization represents more than 100 disability service providers across the state. “The 3M staff works with ProAct job coaches to bring out the highest potential in each person,” said Joyann Johnson, a designated coordinator for ProAct in Red Wing. A sizable work crew assembles parts for numerous types of safety equipment used by linemen, bridge builders and other professionals. 3M Focus Factory Leader Dustin Rassier said ProAct crews provide top notch work. “We are sending out product that ultimately has somebody’s life in the balance, so we depend on quality products going out the door,” said Rassier. “They fit right in with our culture.”
 
MOHR Treasurer and ProAct CEO Steven Ditschler will present the Outstanding Disability Employer Award at 9:30AM on October 17 at 3M Fall Protection 3833 SALA Way in Red Wing. State Representative Barb Haley (R-Red Wing) plans to attend and other area dignitaries have also been invited. Light refreshments will be served. MOHR’s mission is to advocate and support its nonprofit members in providing meaningful services to persons with disabilities and communities served. Celebrated every October, this year’s theme for National Disability Employment Awareness Month is “America’s Workforce: Empowering All.” It celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities and educates about the value of a workforce inclusive of their skills and talents. The national observance began under a different name in 1945.
