Yesterday the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Persons with Disabilities held a National Disability Employment Awareness Month Celebration and honored JVS's own Senior Manager of Disability Services Micah Fleisig as a 2026 Employment Support Champion!

Since joining JVS in 2011, Micah has served an instrumental role in advancing our Disability Services to where it is today. From his contributions toward building our partnerships with House of Possibilities and Old Colony YMCA to expand career development opportunities for individuals with disabilities to coaching and encouraging countless Disability Service clients along their professional journeys, Micah has left a profound impact on making workplaces more disability-inclusive across Massachusetts.

He shared: "There hasn't been a job where I have felt more complete. This is one where I can commit to the service of others."

We are so grateful for you, Micah, and all of the honorees for your advocacy for workers with disabilities in the Commonwealth! And thank you to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Persons with Disabilities, keynote speaker Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, and co-moderators Commissioners Rachel Stanton and Carl Richardson for an unforgettable event at the Massachusetts State House.
