The strongest workplace practices don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re part of a larger system of access and opportunity.

Meet 2026 DisabilityNext™ Summit speaker: Oregon State Senator Sara Gelser Blouin!

Senator Sara Gelser Blouin began her career in public service as a disability rights advocate and has spent decades advancing disability rights in Oregon and nationally. Her work has included expanding access to education, reducing institutionalization, strengthening protections for disabled people, and challenging systems that exclude disabled people from decision-making.

In 2010, she was appointed by President Barack Obama to the National Council on Disability and was later reappointed to the Council.

We’re honored to welcome Senator Sara Gelser Blouin to the DisabilityNext™ stage, joining leaders, futurists, and innovators for dynamic discussions and practical strategies to advance disability inclusion in the workplace.

We have some big news to share.

This fall, Relay Resources will be taking over UCP Oregon's Employment Solutions program by welcoming their current clients and several team members into our Competitive and Integrated Employment (CIE) program.

We do not take that responsibility lightly. UCP Oregon has spent years building something meaningful: deep relationships with clients, families, employers, and community partners. We are honored to carry that work forward.

Relay and UCP Oregon share more than aligned values. We share the belief that disabled people belong. Everywhere. This transition is a natural extension of that shared mission.

Our CIE program launched in 2025 and has already seen success with a 78% retention rate and 80% of placed clients working 20 or more hours per week in alignment with their career goals. The Relay CIE program is built to grow, and we are ready for what comes next.

To the UCP Job Coaches: welcome to Relay. We are glad you are here.

To the clients and families making this transition: we see you, we are ready for you, and we are committed to earning your trust.

Relay Resources could be headed to SXSW 2027, and your vote can help get us there. 💚

Our proposed session is The Business Case for Disability Inclusion. It makes the case that, yes, disability inclusion is the right thing to do. But it’s also a workforce strategy backed by data.

Led by Relay President and CEO Dr. Jennifer Camota Luebke, the session will explore the business impacts of disability inclusion, what makes inclusion efforts resilient when budgets tighten, and concrete steps companies can take to build more inclusive hiring pipelines.

💚 Visit the link in the comments and click the heart to vote for Relay.

SXSW community voting is open through August 23, and every vote counts. Help us bring the business case for disability inclusion to the SXSW stage.
