Welcome to our Spotlight Sessions, a series dedicated to conversations with change-makers and people that have made an impact on the community of people with disabilities.
In this episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Lloyd Lewis, CEO and President of arc Thrift Stores, which has operated for over 50 years across Colorado as the state’s largest employer of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). arc Thrift Stores is an affiliate of The Arc of the United States.
Lloyd shared thoughts on the following topics:
1. Why he got involved in advocacy for people with disabilities.
2. The value of hiring people with IDD to the workforce.
3. How Colorado’s efforts to advance accessibility and inclusion are helping raise awareness and making a difference.
