Gold Card is now ‘gold group’
11th September 2007
To better reflect services for members, Employers' Forum on Disability's ‘Gold Card' has undergone a re brand.
It will now be known as EFD's ‘gold group', with its 50 members known as ‘gold members'. Membership fees are unaffected as is the status of EFD's 350 other members.
EFD head of communications and marketing, Catherine Grinyer says: "The new name is more representative of the role of our core funders.
"For over 15 years they have been at the forefront of influencing change for disabled employees and customers.
"Although services for gold group members remain the same, we hope the new name will encourage others to join and continue to promote the social and economic inclusion of disabled people."
