Access Opportunities
Posted by ianmartinez in : General , add a commentTIA’s Regulatory and Government Affairs Manager Becky Schwartz moderated a panel yesterday at the IDEAS 2007 conference here in D.C. that fostered some great discussion about technology solutions for government procurement.
Not only was the panel a total success, addressing question on various emerging and established technologies for the deaf and hard-of-hearing applicable to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, but it was great to see one of our regulatory staff who works so tirelessly on accessibility issues out in public showing her knowledge and highlighting TIA’s advocacy in that space.
Other panelists included Jim House of Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing; Karl Ewan of Sprint; and Michael Young of the Department of Defense Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program.
