Hi Ericka,
I do not have an answer about what is accessible. We have a speaker coming
to our meeting to talk on that topic as well as someone from EEOC. We will
be recording out meeting and putting up on the web site after convention.

On the young professionals listserve people are asking about the
accessibility of electronic records. Some are looking at things from a
receptionist point of view and others are looking at things from a different
side of the occupational realm. Is there any update I can share with
them, at least some systems that are more accessible for us than others?
Also, there have been several EEOC and related employment questions some of
which are humans servcice field related. What is planned as far as
speakers for convention and will our meeting be streamed? Several on the
list are unable to attend convention and wondered if it would at least be
archived somehow.
Sorry so many questions for a weekend brain. Now that it's raining again I
are stuck inside thinking about these things.
