SELN Members in the States are saying...
"Washington
State is committed to employment because it is good public policy and
enables people to achieve the six benefits: health and safety, power
and choice, status and respect, relationships, integration and
competence. We participate in SELN to help us achieve our goal of full
employment by influencing national policy and sharing good ideas."
--Linda Rolfe, Washington State
