Chris Massaquai and Andy Hodes accept ACES awards for the JCC and the Jewish Cemetery Association, respectively.

The JCC and the Jewish Cemetery Association of Greater New Havenwere among the 70 businesses and organizations honored at the Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) Business Advisory Council’s 13th Annual Employer Recognition Dinner on Oct. 17, 2012. Celebrating the theme of “Building Relationships that Last,” ACES honored businesses and organizations that provide employment and training opportunities to more than 300 students and adults with disabilities.

The event was organized by ACES Business Advisory Council members, including co-chairs Marilyn Ferguson, TD Bank, and Mary Ann White, Coldwell Banker.

ACES Business Advisory Council was formed in 1997 to enhance employment opportunities for ACES student and adult special needs populations. Working with ACES staff, the Council helps to develop the best training programs possible by sharing labor needs, gathering information on labor market trends, issues related to the Americans with Disabilities Act and other labor practice guidelines, and participating in job expos to promote career awareness. For additional information on ACES Business Advisory Council, contact Gene Crocco at gcrocco@aces.org.
