As part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, SEEC (Seeking Employment, Equality, and Community for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) hosted Take Your Legislator to Work Day to highlight inclusive hiring statewide.
Andrew Lam is an employee at Flemings Ultimate Garage in Rockville who is supported by SEEC, according to a release.
“Working with Andrew has been incredible,” Flemings Ultimate Garage Owner Tony Flemings stated per the release. “He’s an essential part of our team, and his work ethic and attention to detail have really impressed us. Partnering with SEEC has shown me that hiring individuals with disabilities isn’t just good for business—it enriches our entire workplace culture.”
Lam said, “I love working with cars, and I feel like part of a team here. I like helping people. It feels good. Shining cars made people happy.”
