As a pioneer for inclusion, Quest has promoted the development and realization of a diverse workplace for nearly 50 years. In addition to celebrating diversity within its more than 550 staff members, QuestWorks, an employment service provided by Quest, finds jobs for people with developmental disabilities that fit each individual’s skills and abilities. “Quest is honored to be recognized by this Beacon Award as a model advocate for diversity in the greater Orlando workforce,” said Katie Porta, president of Quest. “Quest acknowledges that diversity involves more than race, gender and age; true diversity also encompasses a work environment that purposely embraces the inclusion of people of all abilities.” Since 2006, the annual Beacon Awards events have sought to spotlight community leaders whose beacons guide the way in diversity and inclusion. Founders include the Orlando Chapter of National Association of Women Business Owners, Walt Disney World Resort, the YaYa Network, and Orlando Business Journal’s Diversity Works initiative.
