Three Hawaii companies are being recognized for employing Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders with disabilities by the University of Hawaii's Center on Disability Studies.
The companies are:
•Communications Pacific, a public relations and advertising firm based in Honolulu.
•Hale Koa Hotel, a military-owned hotel in Waikiki.
•Kaiser Permanente Hawaii, the state's largest health maintenance organization.
"Over 60 percent of persons with disabilities who are able to work are unemployed," said Robert Stodden, director of the Center on Disability Studies, in a statement. "These companies are changing that."
Stodden said the awards are part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
The three companies will be honored at an event Wednesday night at the Honolulu Design Center.
