[blindlaw] Leaders in the L. Announced -- Daily Record

Wed Oct 23 12:57:38 UTC 2013

Greetings:

I just want to follow-up, informing GMF has given me a spring forum on disability as part of its inclusion and diversity series. The three hour lunch forum will occur in April, 2014. I am excited to collaborate with them.
I am focusing the discussion on technology and information access, although also making sure that the discussion advances a business case for compliance with disability law and policy as part of the Trans-Atlantic relationship.
Would you like to be a speaker or participant on one of the panels?
I want to invite Janet E. Lord to serve as part of the forum. I have, however, lost her cell telephone number. Her firm also does not have the best voicemail system. I am wondering if you might be able to provide me with a good telephone number for her; or if this is better, have her call me.

Convention
How is the work on the Convention coming a long?

Support
I am pleased to add my name, as an Associate Civil Rights Commissioner and visible attorney and leader with a disability, to the effort. So would my evolving business group, the Prometheus Group, which has a public interested oriented firm, called the Maryland Animal and Disability Law Center, founded by Anne Benaroya, Esq., would be pleased to add its group.
My Managing Partner constituted one of the early attorneys in the legal field to promote the ADA.

I am sincerely appreciative.

Sincerely,
Gary

Greetings:

I have been announced as one of twenty-eight Leaders in the Law (Daily Record). I will be receiving this award a long with some other amazing attorneys, including, Special Master Bill with whom I had the honor of serving with when I was a Fellow with him in the Leadership Academy; as well as our own President of the bar association this year. I am honored to be in their number, representing guide dog handlers.
An awards reception, ceremony, and dinner (priced at $95 per ticket, plus tax) will occur on 14 November. For more information, consult the website of the Daily Record.
This is indeed a high honor. I do hope you can attend. For those who cannot obviously attend, do send me positive thoughts. Do, via mentally or via e-mail, join me in congratulating the other winners; the list of whom you can find on the Internet.

Sincerely,
Gary
