You are invited!

Symposium on Consumer Protection for People with Disabilities

 

When: Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - 9 am-1 pm
Where: 201 SVC: Capitol Visitor Center

The American Association of People with Disabilities, with the National
Consumers League, will host the first-ever symposium on protection for
people with disabilities, both as consumers of new technology and as
customers in the financial services industry.

 

Featuring special remarks by Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI)

Panel 1: Factoring of Structured Settlements

Too many people with disabilities fall victim to financial predators who
offer immediate cash in exchange for a structured settlement factoring
transaction. A panel will explore how factoring - when a structured
settlement is sold for cash - robs people with disabilities of deserved
money.

Featured panelists:

Shelby Boxenbaum, Legislative Aid to Congressman Matt Cartwright (D-PA)

Mark Perriello, American Association of People with Diabilities

Eric Vaughn, Book Hill Partners

Panel 2: Technology & People with Disabilities

As technology advances, industries seek input from people with
disabilities in the early development phase to create new technology
that addresses their needs. This panel will feature viewpoints from
industry, regulators, and advocates to examine access to technology. 

Featured panelists:

Susan Diegelman, AT&T

Jeff Kramer, Verizon

Andrew Phillips, National Association of the Deaf

Paul Schroeder, American Foundation for the Blind

Karen Peltz Strauss, Federal Communications Commission

Thomas Wlodkowski, Comcast Cable
