[Electronics-talk] Blind Guy gets New Job

[John Riehl]

This is potentially great news. I would love to get involved as a volunteer
in helping him draft this "focused plan". I have two questions.
Can NFB find out contact information?
And when does he actually start work on the job?

I've been trying to find out how to contact comcast to express my
accessibility concerns but have not been able to find a good contact entry
point. 
I think publicizing how we can contact this new VP so we can express our
concerns and , more importantly, offer to give positive help, would be a
great NFB service.
