You don’t want to miss this one! At Trove, we believe talent knows no bounds. Our journey began with a simple, yet powerful idea: to create a space where individuals with disabilities could showcase their talents and turn their creativity into a living. Trove Market is designed exclusively for entrepreneurs who meet certain income eligibility so they can achieve financial independence and thrive. Many skilled artisans and creators faced barriers when selling their products online. So, we built a platform that not only celebrates their craftsmanship but also empowers them to reach a global audience. Join us to learn how you can get involved!

Putting Faith to Work: A Discussion of Possibilities!
- Jeff Gentry & Doug Crandell
April 23, 2026, from 3 P.M. - 4 P.M.
We all know that finding a job and a career that you find rewarding is critical to our physical and mental health. It takes using our networks authentically to engage others in the pursuit of a job search. Often, we overlook spiritual connections and the role they can play in employment.
Putting Faith to Work is a toolkit that provides congregations of all types a path that supports their members with disabilities who are looking for a job. This session will focus on a discussion about the toolkit, how to use it, and the power unleashed when person-centeredness includes all aspects of community life. Join us for a great discussion about how to put faith to work!

Rotary International Inclusive Hiring Projects
- Wendy McDonald
April 30, 2026, from 3 P.M. – 4 P.M.
​
Launched in 2000, the Rotary Employment Partnership takes advantage of members’ extensive networks. Members tell their colleagues and connections about the benefits of hiring people with intellectual disabilities and streamline the hiring process. The initiative has filled more than
900 jobs in areas such as trades, hospitality, manufacturing, childcare, culinary, the arts, and office administration. The average wage is more than $17 per hour. "What Rotary provides is the strength of our networking, who we know. It’s been pivotal," says Wendy McDonald, Inclusion Alberta’s
chief operating officer and a member of the Rotary Club of Edmonton Sunrise. "Rotary’s strength is the ability to open doors to the business community that otherwise wouldn’t exist."
