About Us

Every Person Has the Potential for Greatness

APSE Oklahoma is proud to be a voice of the Employment First movement. It’s an honor and responsibility that we take very seriously. Our national office, state chapters and board membership have achieved remarkable accomplishments. Determined to keep the momentum moving forward, the APSE Oklahoma board of directors considered our complex world and sought to answer: What is the right role for APSE Oklahoma in building the world we want to see?

With a focus on shared values and confirming APSE Oklahoma’s commitment to the view that everyone can and should work, the board of directors examined the many ways that APSE Oklahoma can support policymakers, funders, businesses, families, service providers and people with disabilities in advancing Employment First, the core of our common bond.

Who We Are

APSE - OK is a team of professionals from different backgrounds who all believe in the same ideas and principles for success and fulfillment: To advance employment equity for people with disabilities. We are eager to share these ideas with everyone longing for growth and change. We believe every person has the same potential to have a dramatic impact on the world and in their personal lives. And we want to do all we can to support and encourage that potential.
