I was honored this week to be interviewed by Joyce Bender, President and CEO of Bender Consulting Services and an internationally respected leader in the field of disability employment. Her bio reflects some highlights of her extensive work:
Joyce Bender has built her career on over 30 years of executive search experience, and has become an internationally recognized leader in disability employment, since founding Bender Consulting Services, Inc. in 1995.
Joyce began her career in 1979 as a search consultant, and in 1988, founded Bender and Associates International, Inc., an executive search firm specializing in technology and management search. In 1985, Joyce had a life-threatening accident due to epilepsy that caused a cerebral hemorrhage that required subsequent brain surgery. This accident left Joyce with a 60 percent hearing loss in one ear and a realization that she had epilepsy. As a result of her personal experience, she developed a passion for helping people with disabilities secure employment. Joyce has received numerous recognitions and been featured in various publications and broadcasts. Those highlights can be found in the media section of this site. Joyce is also the host of “Disability Matters with Joyce Bender,” a weekly internet talk radio show on voiceamerica.com.
Here is Joyce’s Disability Matters broadcast information for the segment, including the archived interview as well as accessibility options:
Joyce welcomes Diane Coleman, the president and founder of Not Dead Yet. This organization, is a national disability rights group, that gives a voice opposing assisted suicide and euthanasia. Diane will discuss the mission of this organization in depth, as well as her leadership and policies in place now. She is a well-known writer and speaker on assisted suicide and euthanasia.
