>For folks who are not familiar with our 
>organization, we are focused on the use of 
>technology to support the ability of people with 
>disabilities to live independently.  This 
>overarching mission takes multiple separate 
>forms.  Those on this list may be aware that 
>our policy team works primarily before the 
>California Public Utilities Commission to 
>support reliable and affordable access to vital 
>services including electricity and 
>broadband.  This has included a lot of work in 
>support of low-income communities generally, as 
>well as efforts to regulate ride-hailing 
>services (Lyft and Uber), work to support the 
>availability of speech-generating devices to 
>allow people to access telecommunications, 
>support for eliminating utility debt accumulated 
>during the Covid crisis, and many other items 
>that may not immediately come to mind when you 
>think about utilities.  This work is similar in 
>many ways to the complex litigation that is the 
>focus of many DRBA members, except that 
>proceedings have numerous parties and take place 
>in an administrative setting.  We also have a 
>web accessibility team that works with other 
>nonprofits, government agencies and private 
>companies on compliance with web accessibility 
>standards, including a unique tester bank that 
>focuses on real-world usability.  And we have 
>AT specialists who provide direct services, 
>primarily to students, to ensure that they have 
>access to adaptive equipment and other necessary 
>support.  We are looking for someone with a 
>background in one of these areas and an interest 
>in the others, as well as an openness to 
>additional concepts that may come up in the 
>future to advance our overall mission.Â

>Applications are being accepted now.  Please
