Instead, each large hub airport in Colorado has various accessibility duties, including incorporating wayfinding. Also each large hub airport is supposed to establish an advisory committee for the cross-disabled community, including representation from various disabilities. The committee is to identify areas for improvement and provide input during renovations and construction of walkways and facilities.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:black">Theresa Montano<br>Senior Solutions Architect of Accessibility PMP/CSM<br>Technology Accessibility Program</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(7,55,99)"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><img width="318" height="103" style="width: 3.3125in; height: 1.0729in;" src="cid:ii_18fee84feb74cff311"><u></u><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:rgb(7,55,99)"><br><br></span><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:black">P 303.862.1683</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(7,55,99)"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:black">1575 Sherman Street, Denver, CO 80203<br>State Scoop Innovation Award 2022<br>International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP)</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(7,55,99)"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div style="border-width:1pt medium medium;border-style:solid none none;border-color:rgb(225,225,225) currentcolor currentcolor;padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> Colorado-Talk <<a href="mailto:colorado-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">colorado-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>kevan <a href="http://nfbco.org" target="_blank">nfbco.org</a> via Colorado-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, June 5, 2024 2:57 PM<br><b>To:</b> NFB of Colorado Discussion List <<a href="mailto:colorado-talk@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">colorado-talk@nfbnet.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> kevan <a href="http://nfbco.org" target="_blank">nfbco.org</a> <<a href="mailto:kevan@nfbco.org" target="_blank">kevan@nfbco.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Colorado-Talk] DIA Accessibility<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt">Dan, thanks for clarification.
