✨ Member Success Story Spotlight: Abilities Solutions The true strength of our association lies in the people who make it happen, the dedicated professionals who bring passion and purpose to their work every day. Today, we're excited to share one of their stories. We called on our member organizations to help us spotlight the standout staff who make this field so extraordinary. These stories are a powerful reminder of the 'who' behind the work, and the heart, talent, and drive they bring to it: Yolanda Bergen-Garland Work Supervisor - Abilities Solutions "Yolanda Bergen-Garland, Work Supervisor, started at Abilities Solutions in 2014 as a service recipient, completing a Vocational Evaluation followed by an Extended Employment (EE) program. She remained in EE for eight years consistently increasing her technical skills, her productivity, and developing her soft skills. Along the way, her natural supports also strengthened, allowing her to overcome barriers to her employment success. While in EE, Yolanda often expressed her love of helping other EE clients learn new tasks, and she actively began taking initiative to learn the role of a Work Supervisor. Once an opening became available, she applied without hesitation. Yolanda was hired as a full-time Work Supervisor in 2023. Despite discouraging challenges that have arisen, Yolanda has overcome each obstacle with support from her work family! Yolanda brings a unique perspective to her role, understanding both the client and staff viewpoints. She has continued to grow and evolve as a professional and is an instrumental part of training clients to complete state use contract work. Yolanda is a shining example of how difficult times can reveal inner strength and self-confidence, leading to resilience and professional success." #ACCSESNJ #MissionandImpact #ProfessionalDevelopment

Employment isn't just a paycheck. It's dignity. It's purpose. It's belonging. 💙 According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities is more than twice that of people without disabilities at 8.8% vs. 4.1% (2025 annual averages). That gap isn't acceptable. And it isn't inevitable. At ACCSES New Jersey, our mission is simple: every purchase has a purpose. We connect government customers to a network of nonprofit agencies that hire talented people with disabilities, delivering quality products and services at competitive prices, while expanding opportunity and access to the American dream. ✅ Competitive, integrated employment ✅ A more inclusive workforce ✅ Real impact with every contract Progress is being made. But awareness and advocacy still matter, and so does where and how we choose to do business. If your organization is looking to make your procurement dollars count, for people, not just profits, we'd love to connect. 🌐 hubs.la/Q04dsgF00 📊hubs.la/Q04ds9TV0 #DisabilityEmployment #InclusiveHiring #StateProcurement #NewJersey #MissionandImpact #Procurement #StateContract

🌸 Spring is here, and so is allergy season Pollen counts are rising, and if your HVAC filter hasn't been changed recently, your indoor air quality may be making symptoms worse, not better.

For agencies responsible for the wellbeing of employees and the public, that's a risk worth addressing now. We carry Brookaire filters to keep your air clean and your space comfortable all season long. ✅On New Jersey State Contract ✅ Made in the USA ✅ Bulk & contract purchasing available ✅ Ideal for offices, federal buildings & public facilities ✅ Supports your agency's social impact goals ✅ Streamlined quoting process for procurement teams ✅ Every order supports meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities 📩 Reach out for a quote: HVAC@ACCSESNJ.org #ACCSESNJ #StateProcurement

✨ Member Success Story Spotlight: InspiriTec We asked our member organizations to help us recognize the incredible staff who make this field exceptional. Today, we're proud to share one of those stories from Inspiritec. It is a reminder of why this work matters and who is doing it, with passion, skill, and heart: Elsie Rosa Customer Service Representative New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) Contact Center I was born in 1955 with polio. My parents, who were from Puerto Rico, told me if I can’t do something one way, I can do it another way. After growing up in the Bronx, I lived in Puerto Rico. I earned an Associate’s and a Bachelor’s degree, and I always kept busy with odd jobs and volunteering. I also developed post-polio syndrome, which is like getting polio again but slower, and went from crutches to a wheelchair. As I aged, I developed diabetes and hypertension. After over 30 years in Puerto Rico, I moved to New Jersey, seeking an employer that would really give me a career and take care of me. InspiriTec has been that employer for me since 2010! I was brought here to start up the Board of Nursing team on our DCA contract. InspiriTec liked my background; I had done receptionist and translator work, so I knew how to talk to people of different backgrounds on the phone, in English and Spanish. I was less familiar with computers, but I’ve learned a lot here! We help nursing professionals in New Jersey through the process of applying for their professional licenses. I like my job, because I get to help people, and I get to be the customer service professional they deserve. I am empathetic and sympathetic, I keep callers informed, I perceive their feelings over the phone, and I just don’t give up on them. As the senior member of the team, I’ve been engrained in – and benefitted from – the culture at InspiriTec. We have good people here who celebrate each other and have each other’s backs, which makes for a successful work environment. InspiriTec has intervened for me in personal matters, such as helping me get my apartment. People with disabilities can be independent, like me. They come to work because they feel they can do the job, and often prove they’re the best people for the job. InspiriTec recognizes people with disabilities just need some support to thrive, and I believe other organizations should look to InspiriTec as a model!
