Help shape the future of automotive technology!
And make $50!


Lextant, a design research company in Columbus, Ohio, has contacted Leader
Dogs for the Blind with a unique opportunity. They are working with one of
the major automotive manufacturers here in Detroit to conduct a Vehicle
Alert Research Study and they need our help.

This vehicle's engine emits a different type of sound than what you're used
to hearing. The automotive manufacturer wants to make sure that the sound
this vehicle makes is acceptable to the blind community. Lextant has set up
one-on-one research sessions on Tuesday, August 30, and Wednesday, August
31, to talk to Leader Dog clients about these vehicles.

These research sessions will take place at The Walter P. Chrysler Museum in
Auburn Hills and will take approximately 30 minutes. Plus, participants will
be compensated with $50 cash for taking the time to share their opinion!

Lextant is not selling anything or collecting any of your personal data,
they simply want to understand your perception of these vehicles and your
thoughts on how they could be better for you. Available time slots are
below.

Please contact Katie Kimble at Lextant at kkimble at lextant.com or
614-228-9711 to sign up for a position.

Please note, if you sign up for the time slot marked <backup position> there
is a chance your data will not be needed because the quota has been filled.
However, you will still be compensated with $50 for scheduling a time with
Lextant.


Location: The Walter P. Chrysler Museum, One Chrysler Drive, Auburn Hills,
MI 48326


The Walter P. Chrysler Museum is located on the Chrysler Group, LLC,
headquarters complex in Auburn Hills, Michigan, approximately 30 miles north
of downtown Detroit. Easily accessible from I-75 at exit 78 (Chrysler
Drive), the Museum is located at the southeast corner of the complex, at the
intersection of Featherstone and Squirrel Roads.

Participants will meet at the Museum's front entrance.
