Symposium Highlights
Please join us for the Region X Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) Symposium. This event will bring together
the community of employers, facility designers, and people with
disabilities with nationally recognized experts to learn about and
discuss the ever changing issues in the journey toward compliance. The
symposium will explore cutting edge topics such as barrier removal in
existing facilities, reasonable accommodation, and work force
development for the most under-utilized and unemployed sector of
available workers. One of the highlights of the second day will be a
session on the ADA Restoration Act with speakers from the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce and the National Council on Independent Living.
