Program Overview

The Inclusive Workplace Partners Program (IWPP) was started by the Committee for Creating and Sustaining Opportunities for People with Disabilities; a community group whose mission is to create and sustain opportunities for people of all ages with disabilities to participate fully in the life and work of our community.  The committee was founded in 2014 with the support of Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and local community advocates.

The Inclusive Workplace Partners Program launched in July of 2016 through the work of the committee.  The mission of the program is to ensure that people of all abilities have an opportunity to achieve sustained, gainful employment within the City of Marysville.  The program is designed to promote an inclusive community by recognizing businesses that hire and/or train people of all abilities.  Participating businesses will receive a certificate of recognition from Mayor Nehring and a window cling of the IWPP logo.  This helps to demonstrate to the community that not only does the business understand the value of hiring workers with a disability; but also supports and inclusive workplace.

The program is sponsored by the City of Marysville and supported by the Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce.  To find out more about the Inclusive Workplace Partners Program, contact Leah Tocco with the City of Marysville at ltocco@marysvillewa.gov.
