Hosted by the GPH Complex Public Health Disasters Lab
Join ADA advocates, professionals, and researchers for an engaging conversation about the Americans with Disabilities Act’s role in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the critical role of ADA coordinators in ensuring this connection. This event will highlight the successes of the ADA as well as the progress that still needs to be made, with a discussion of recent research that illustrates the most stubborn barriers to full inclusivity. A panel featuring researchers, advocates, and experts from across the country will host diverse perspectives on access and inclusion and bold ideas to accelerate the nation toward full ADA implementation.
This event will be available in both in-person and virtual formats, but in-person space is limited, so register soon! A light breakfast will be provided beginning at 8:00 AM.
