Ty Evans of Birmingham was named the winner of the Alabama Governor’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities Large Business Employee of the Year Award during a statewide awards ceremony at the Alabama Department of Archives and History on October 13, 2023.
Evans is the Program Manager at Jefferson County Department of Human Resources for the Family Assistance and Jobs Programs. He said he was excited when he learned he had won the award.
Evans, who has spina bifida, has been with DHR for more than 34 years and continues to earn promotions. He said he hopes his award serves as a lesson to those with disabilities to continue to push forward in all that they do.
ADRS Commissioner Jane Elizabeth Burdeshaw said this is just another example of how businesses can be positively impacted when people with disabilities are offered a chance to prove themselves.
“Today, it’s more important than ever to bring attention to the advantages of hiring individuals with different abilities,” she said. “At ADRS, we see Alabamians every day who, with support and the right accommodations, are helping businesses all over the state fill needed vacancies with their talents, abilities, and pure enthusiasm for their jobs.”
