Some companies just don't get the attention and recognition that other more popular corporations do. But it seems that may all be changing as a growing number of people are seeking companies which perform services that affect the greater good of society. While only a handful of iconic names get most of the press, people are discovering there are equally attractive names, deserving of their recognition and support, not necessarily for their pop culture status, but for the very market of people they serve. Such a company is EP Global Communications of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
EP Global Communications happens to serve one of the most important (and growing) markets in the world. Which market is this? It is the market of disabled adults, children and their caregivers. The company publishes Exceptional Parent Magazine, which provides a plethora of information and educational services to families and caregivers of the disabled.
It is estimated there are over 54 million disabled people in America and the numbers are growing. With two wars and a growing number of disabled US Military veterans, the services provided by EP Global Communications are needed more than ever. Increasingly, investors are seeking out companies such as this, that get no fanfare and very little limelight, yet they provide invaluable services everyday to millions of people.
EP Global Communications will be co-producing the annual World Congress & Exposition on Disabilities, which will be held in Jacksonville, Florida November 19-20, 2009. The conference will feature product sponsors and advertisers plus fifty-five educational programs led by some of the finest physicians, teachers, families and caregivers around. The Keynote Speaker will be the Commandant of the US Marine Corps, General James T. Conway. Thousands of families from around the United States are expected to attend.
More and more socially conscious investors appear to be throwing their financial muscle behind these types of companies, which serve a greater good in the world while being a good investment simultaneously.
