The Center for Accessible Technology, in Berkeley, California, is seeking
candidates for the position of Executive Director. Those of you
who are local may be aware that our Executive Director Dmitri Belser
passed away earlier this year ( there will be a memorial in September at
the Ed Roberts Campus – let me know if you need more information).Â
I have attached the posting for the position as a Word document, or the
same information is available through the links below.<br><br>

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. <br><br>

Applications are being accepted now. Please feel free to
