I am part of a team working on the grant-funded project called Access Ratings for Buildings (ARB), a collaborative initiative led by the University of New Mexico, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Columbia University. The ARB Project aims to expand the
availability of accessibility information for public spaces. Through this project, we have developed AccessPlace, a new online platform designed to help people with disabilities find and share information about the accessibility of local restaurants through
community-generated ratings and reviews.</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:black">
We are looking for community members to participate in the AccessPlace Launch Event on Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM (participants do not need to stay the entire time to participate). Participants will receive hands-on training using AccessPlace,
rate local restaurants near the UNM campus using AccessPlace, and provide feedback to help improve the platform. Your input will help create a valuable community resource that supports informed dining decisions and promotes accessibility awareness.</div>

Participants will also receive a gift card to use at one of the participating restaurants.</div>
