CODI was proud to participate in ACCSES New Jersey's Day at the State House in Trenton on October 28th. This advocacy event focused on meeting with legislatures to discuss the authorizing legislation for Extended Employment and strengthening purchasing requirements for the Set-Aside Program.
This was a great opportunity for CODI to join ACCSES NJ members to connect with legislators and advocate for policy changes that directly impact those we serve. Special thanks to Senator Vincent J. Polistina, who met with CODI consumers to discuss their concerns.

바쁜 일정에서 시간을 내어 CODI를 방문해주신 Jeff Van Drew 의원과 직원들께 특별히 감사드립니다. 이 그룹은 시설을 둘러보고 장애인을 위한 취업 기회에 대한 소비자와 직원들의 우려 사항을 경청하는 데 시간을 보냈습니다. 논의된 가장 큰 우려 사항은 경쟁적 고용으로의 전환법에 도입된 14(C) 인증서와 최저 임금 미만을 폐지하려는 연방 법안이었습니다.
ACCSESNJ의 Advocacy and Government Affairs 책임자인 Jacob Caplan에게 이 중요한 회의와 토론을 주선해 주셔서 감사드립니다. 우리는 우리 작업의 중요성과 우리 커뮤니티 전역에서 우리가 봉사하는 사람들의 삶에 미치는 영향에 대해 토론할 수 있는 기회를 주셔서 감사합니다.

CODI proudly announces that the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard has again awarded CODI the Commander’s Coin. Honoring someone with a commander’s coin is a way for senior leadership to show appreciation for a phenomenal job on the spot. It is more than just a thank you or a pat on the back. It is something tangible to remember the moment by.
Colonel Derek Routt presented the Commander’s Coin to Pam Garman, Site Supervisor, and her team and commended CODI for its commitment to fostering opportunity and empowerment for differently-abled individuals.
For decades, CODI has demonstrated a tireless commitment to helping individuals achieve their career and personal development goals, and this award acknowledges CODI’s outstanding service at the base. Founded in 1970, CODI has been a beacon of hope and support for differently abled individuals seeking to overcome barriers to employment and independence. Through innovative programs and community partnerships like the 177th, CODI has created pathways for success, offering training and resources that empower individuals to thrive.
“We are deeply honored to receive the Commander’s Coin from the 177th Fighter Wing,” said CODI’s President/CEO, Linda Carney. “This recognition affirms our mission to serve our community and to stand alongside those who have served our country. We remain committed to continuing our work to create meaningful opportunities for all and extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for this award.
