ADA Panel

To mark the 26th anniversary of the ADA, The American College MassMutual Center for Special Needs convened a panel to talk about how the ADA changed America and how the financial services profession was different before this law. The discussion centered on how the profession can recruit more people with disabilities as financial advisors, how companies today are serving people with disabilities and their families, and practical steps that the industry can take to fulfill the full-inclusion promise of the ADA.
