U.S. Access Board Names Earlene Sesker Training Coordinator

Earlene Sesker has been named the U.S. Access Board's new Training Coordinator. Sesker has served as an accessibility specialist at the Access Board for over 20 years where she provides technical assistance to the public on its accessibility guidelines and standards. In her new role, Sesker will oversee the Board's training program and will field training requests and organize training sessions and webinars, among other program duties. The Board regularly conducts training on its accessibility guidelines and standards upon request at various events and conferences across the county. In addition, it conducts a monthly webinar series in partnership with National Network of ADA Centers.

Sesker also is active in the Board's development of new accessibility standards for medical diagnostic equipment. She joined the Board in 1993 as a compliance specialist and investigated complaints under the Architectural Barriers Act which requires access to federally funded facilities. She succeeds Peggy Greenwell who retired in December after serving 18 years as the Board's Training Coordinator.
