Tune into this week’s episode of IsraelCast – Jewish National Fund’s premier podcast – to hear from Chris Neeley, Chairman of the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, on how he is working to expand opportunities and break down barriers for people with special needs. You’ll learn about the Corps of Honor, Neeley’s initiative to bring JNF’s Special in Uniform program from Israel to the United States to integrate people with disabilities into the U.S. military.

Chris Neeley is the Chairman of the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, where he leads America’s policy discussion on expanding employment opportunities with people with disabilities.
