Testimonials From Those Who Attended

The evaluations the Association receives from the conferences attendees are reviewed by the Board as well as by the speakers. We use the evaluation information to ensure the workshops provide the technical assistance needed for the ADA Coordinator and 504 Compliance Officer to do their daily jobs more effectively. It also keeps us informed as to what new and emerging topics are becoming important to the conference attendees.
