AAPD Elects New Board Officers
New board chair Joyce Bender brings years of disability employment experience to position
On Monday, June 27th, the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest cross-disability organization, announced the election of new board officers.
Joyce A. Bender was elected board chair of AAPD by the organization’s board of directors. Bender is a longtime AAPD board member and a lifelong champion of the rights of people with disabilities. Her work to create real jobs for real people with disabilities has earned her a national reputation for advancing workplace access and fairness for Americans with disabilities.
“As a woman living with epilepsy, the opportunity to serve as AAPD’s board chair is an incredible honor. My goal is to take AAPD to the next level and grow the organization exponentially in order to positively impact the lives of Americans with disabilities everywhere,” Bender said.
The board also elected Will Ris, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs for AMR Corp. and American Airlines as Vice Chair; Meredith Ryan-Reid, a Vice President and Producer at MARSH USA Inc. as Secretary and Mary Davis, Vice President, IT Infrastructure Solutions for CSC as Treasurer. Former Democratic Whip and co-author of the ADA Tony Coelho is the Immediate Past Chair and will continue to serve on the AAPD board Executive Committee...

Not much words needed, really.

The latest quarterly data report from the National Bureau of Statistics showed China's gross domestic product rising 9.5% y/y during the second quarter -- a touch above market expectations of 9.4% -- while the key industrial output growth indicator surged 15.1% y/y in June, far outpacing both May's 13.3% reading and the market's expectation of a 13.1% rise.
The second quarter data report followed Saturday's announcement that consumer inflation rose 6.4% y/y in June, the highest level in three years and a harbinger of yet another move on interest rates this year, some analysts believe.
"Inflation is still the most important concern, and there will be at least one more interest rate by the end of this year, with one as soon as August," said Mizuho Securities economist Shen Jianguang, reports http://www.IMarketnews.com
China's steelmakers produce half the world's steel and the government has long been pushing industry leaders to consolidate and add value to an energy-sapping sector where unbridled production has often resulted in turf battles and volatile prices.
