The Federal Exchange on Employment and Disability (FEED) is a federal interagency working group focused on advancing employment opportunities for people with disabilities in the Federal Government. Supported by the Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) and managed by representatives from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), FEED members meet four times per year to share and develop information, resources, and best practices on a variety of topics related to disability-inclusive employment in the federal sector.
Membership is open to Federal Government employees at any level. Federal employees whose job duties involve recruiting, hiring, retaining, or advancing people with disabilities are encouraged to join.
