Board to Hold Town Meeting and Hearing in Denver June 20, 2007

The Board will hold a town meeting and public hearing in the Denver area on July 24th. Each year the Board holds one of its bi-monthly meetings in a location outside the Washington, D.C. area to discuss various aspects of accessibility and the work of the Board. The town meeting will provide a forum for the public to advise the Board on accessibility and issues of concern pertaining to the built environment, transportation, communication, and information technology. The meeting will follow an open format but will also feature panel discussions on several topics, including kiosks, voting machines, and acoustics.

On the same day, a public hearing will be held on the Board’s proposed guidelines for Federal parks and other outdoor developed areas. The hearing will provide an opportunity for interested parties to provide comment on the proposed guidelines.

Both events will be held at the Westin Hotel in Westminster, Colorado. For further information, contact Kathy Johnson at johnson@access-board.gov, (202) 272-0041 (v), or (202) 272-0082 (TTY).
