JPMorgan Chase Kicks Off New Conference Accessibility Initiative

Increases access to 10 major community development and civil
rights conferences for people with disabilities

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), in collaboration with the World
Institute on Disability (WID), today launches its Conference
Accessibility Initiative. Through this initiative, 10 of the largest
community development and civil rights conferences in the United States,
including the NAACP, National Fair Housing Alliance, National Housing
Conference, National Urban League and the Corporation for Economic
Development, will for the first time, be fully inclusive of people with
disabilities and enable them to both attend and fully participate in
conference sessions.

“People with disabilities experience economic hardship at rates that
exceed the national average. At JPMorgan Chase, we believe that the
private sector has both a responsibility and role to play in helping
address economic and social challenges,” said Naomi Camper, Head of the
Office of Nonprofit Engagement at JPMorgan Chase. “Through the
Conference Accessibility Initiative, JPMorgan Chase is excited to create
more inclusive advocacy and community development conversations and
expand the way people think about diversity and inclusion.”

Highlights of the Conference Accessibility Initiative include:

• Concierge services for conference participants with disabilities
• Scholarships provided for people with disabilities, including travel
  and registration costs
• Integration into conference plenary sessions, panel discussions and
  awards (i.e., subject-matter experts on panels, presenters with
  disabilities and closed captioning)

• Encouragement of organizations to have panel discussions on
  disability-related topics

“We are so excited to be part of this Conference Accessibility
Initiative,” said Tom Foley, WID’s Deputy Director. “There are civil
rights and community development organizations doing some amazing work
to help to create opportunity for low and moderate income communities.
And we know—we absolutely know—that when we’re talking about these
communities, we are talking about people with disabilities. Thanks to
the partnership with JPMorgan Chase, people with disabilities will be
able to attend these conferences. We will be at the table and part of
the conversation!”

Large civil rights and community development conferences help to set the
economic opportunity agenda. The conferences that JPMorgan Chase has
selected attract key decision makers from the nonprofit, business and
public sector communities. The Conference Accessibility Initiative aims
to fully integrate disability access issues into the content and enable
people with disabilities to fully participate in these critical national
discussions of economic opportunity and inclusion.
