July 26th marks the 20th Anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act! Join the Northeast ADA Center on Thursday August 12th as we Celebrate, Contemplate, and Collaborate!

The ADA was passed two decades ago amidst great hope that the barriers to equal opportunity and participation for people with disabilities would finally be torn down. Now, twenty years later it’s time to celebrate, contemplate, and collaborate!

We will be hosting a day-long event at the ILR Conference Center at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, on Thursday August 12th. During this event, you will hear from guest speaker John Robinson, the Director of Corporate Support for WMHT Public Broadcasting, as well as speakers and panelists from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, New York State Board of Code Officials, New York State Human Rights Commission, and Cornell University. Throughout the day there will also be opportunities for you to engage in networking opportunities with other individuals, professionals, service providers, and state/local government employees to discuss where the ADA is at today and where it should be heading!
