Bender Consulting Services of Canada, Inc. Bender Consulting provides competitive employment opportunities for Americans with
disabilities in the areas of information technology, engineering, finance/accounting, human resources and general business. In
1985, Joyce had a life-threatening accident due to epilepsy, which caused an intracranial hemorrhage that required subsequent brain
surgery. Against all odds, Joyce recovered from this accident that left her with a 60 percent hearing loss in one ear and a
realization that she had epilepsy. As a result of her personal experience, she developed a passion for helping people with
disabilities and founded both companies. Ms. Bender is the recipient of the 2003 New Freedom Initiative Award from the Bush
Administration, as well as the 1999 President's Award from President Clinton.
