Let me add my voice to those who wold like to see the "workshop" sessions webcast, podcast, recorded or others preserved and made available for member use. Time, distance and cost make it difficult for many of us to attend. This is particularly so for many of us on the West Coast. For those of us who practice in the disability law filed, workshops are the often the place where we obtain new understandings on legal theories, tactical approaches, remedies and settlement approaches. Over the past year or two I have participated in various "seminars" sponsored by the Lighthousue for the Blind in San Francisco that were made available as a live podcast, by phone and by digital recodinng. Teh technology is certainnly available and we should take full advantage of it. while there may be insufficient time to offer remote or offsite particpation for the upcoming Disability Law Symposium perhaps it can be goal for next year.

I would also like to know if these seminars will be recorded and archived so that for those who cant make the meeting dates can at least hear the information being presented at both of these seminars. I would truly appreciate it if the seminars could be recorded and archived for later listening since I wont be able to attend the seminars due to the fact that I will be at school during those dates and times. Thank you .
