Chamber of Commerce for Persons with Disabilities, Inc.

A Chamber of Commerce for Persons with Disabilities has been launched as of June this year. 

"The Chamber’s mission is to help persons with disabilities and their direct caregivers to form and grow businesses" through networking opportunities, links and resources, and programs and services.

Chairman Peter Schoemann leads the Board of Directors, all of whom are committed to people with disabilities and as volunteers, receive no compensation for their services.  Clearly, this is a very passionate group of people devoted to what, in their view, is "a way to help the disability community help itself".

Visual Description of the Chamber logo:  A rectangle, most of which is royal blue with a band of purple at the bottom, separated from the blue by a horizontal black line.  In the center of the blue section of this  rectangle, white block letters spell out "Chamber of Commerce for Persons with Disabilities, Inc."  To the left of that is the logo itself - a white round circle incorporating the same "Chamber of Commerce for Persons with Disabilities, Inc. around the inside edge.  In the center we see a royal blue silhouette of a city skyline and in front of these "buildings" is a colorful silhouette of six people of various shapes and sizes, one of whom is using a wheelchair.  They are all holding hands.
