Ability Indiana Cities and Towns

• The Ability Indiana Board launched an initiative to create increased awareness of the Program at the local level of government by “recognizing and awarding” cities as an Ability City.

• The goal is to continue increasing awareness across Indiana cities regarding inclusion of individuals with disabilities through employment opportunities.



• Indianapolis: October 11, 2016Mayor Joe Hogsett joined Ability Indiana to designate the City of Indianapolis as the first “Ability City” in Indiana.“Indianapolis thrives when all of its residents are given the opportunity and means to thrive.”

• Evansville: October 24, 2016Mayor Lloyd Winnecke proclaimed Evansville the second Ability City in Indiana. “Anyone, regardless of their disability, should have the opportunity to reach their full potential,” said Mayor Winnecke.“Ability Indiana brings together a willing and capable workforce with the needs of the business world to lift all Hoosiers through hard work and a can-do attitude.”



• Fort Wayne: June 8, 2017“Being an Ability City speaks volumes about our commitment to being a caring, giving and welcoming community,” said Mayor Henry. “Fort Wayne is a leader in job and business growth. It’s because of companies and organizations in our City have stepped up to include and embrace individuals with disabilities to be part of our local employment base.”

• Whitestown: July 11, 2018Town Council President Eric Miller: “Town Council votes unanimously to encourage all of Whitestown's government entities to embrace Ability Indiana and encourage local businesses to support Ability Indiana's mission and support employment opportunities for people with extra-abilities."


OneIndiana

Per OneIndiana Website: • OneIndiana is a strategic purchasing approach that works. As local

governmental entities work together and take advantage of state-negotiated Quantity Purchasing Agreements (QPAs), the combined volume purchasing has meant lower prices on thousands of goods and services from hundreds of vendors. This translates into millions of dollars of savings for Hoosier taxpayers.

• When your organization starts saving with OneIndiana, Hoosier taxpayers do too. By unifying our spend together on common goods and services, the State is able to negotiate better prices and give vendors more incentive to offer deeper discounts and enhanced services.
