CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-09-12 | 11 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday September 12, 2018 6:30 p.m. Commissioner Jennifer Roloff: Right. And that actually might be a good link for the high school too, to have that resource. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Yes. Vice Chair Barrett. Vice Chair Jenn Barrett: Yeah, so, a few exciting things I launched our "10 ways to improve accessibility at your business". In August, I sent it to the head of the Chamber of Commerce. I'm going to be speaking at their meeting in October. They had a meeting today, but I was like, "Yeah, that's not going to work." So I printed out a flyer for everyone. If you want to just, if you know of anyone who can take it, just trying to spread the word as much as possible. I also have some extras. I don't know if we can hang them up in City Hall. And then please let me know if you have other contacts with business organizations. Alameda Magazine, maybe they would put something in for us or the newspaper? Commissioner Lisa Hall: Alameda Sun perhaps. Yeah. Vice Chair Jenn Barrett: Perfect. I might get in touch with you on the content. And my sister said that there's some kind of events newsletter that she thought might have been sent out by the City or maybe the Park Street. So I'm trying to find the contact for that because there's a newsletter that goes out pretty often to tell us what new businesses are in Alameda, and so that might be a good thing to spread the word with as well. The Planning Board met yesterday and they were discussing about the park that's going to take place on the waterfront opposite Jack London. So that was a very interesting presentation. The video's up online if anyone is interested in that. Vice Chair Jenn Barrett: And as we're talking about speakers I haven't asked her yet, but I have a contact with a woman who works for Adobe, and she does accessibility for web design or computer-based. And I know a lot about buildings, but I know nothing about the web design, so I thought maybe if you guys are interested, I can try reaching out to her to try to get her to speak at a meeting in the future. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Yeah, I'm interested in that. I think there's so much that is happening with technology that's really benefiting people with disabilities, and I rely heavily on my wife for technology-related things, so, anything I can learn would be great. Vice Chair Jenn Barrett: Right. And it may be just helpful for people who watch our meetings, who don't know that these services are built in to our new technologies. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: And also maybe we could have her come and speak with somebody from the Alameda City College because they actually offer classes designed around people using the accessible technology, and they have some good disability services there around that whole thing. Vice Chair Jenn Barrett: Yes, I'll look into that. Commissioner Jennifer Roloff: There's also WABA and GABA, right? 09/12/18 Page 11 of 16 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-09-12.pdf |
