Meeting of the U.S. Access Board - July 29

Meeting of the U.S. Access Board
July 29, 1:30 – 3:00
Access Board Conference Center
1331 F Street, NW, Suite 800
Washington, D.C.

The Board will webcast its regular meetings beginning with its next meeting on July 29. Board meetings, which are open to the public, are held every two months at the Board conference center in downtown Washington, D.C. The Board usually substitutes one of these meetings each year for a town hall meeting held in a different city.

"We are eager to open up Board meetings to a much broader audience and to give those outside the D.C. area a virtual ringside seat," states Board Executive Director David M. Capozzi. "Webcasting our meetings will foster greater engagement with the public and promote greater awareness of the Board's work."

The agenda for the July Board meeting includes briefings from invited speakers. Marilyn Golden, a Senior Policy Analyst at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, will review major findings from a comprehensive analysis of public transportation accessibility conducted for the National Council on Disability. Maria Town, Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, also has been invited to address the Board. The agenda also includes reports from Board standing and ad hoc committees and from the Executive Director as well as updates on agency rulemaking and other activities.

Further details, including the webcast link, will be posted on the Board's website.
