Hello Everyone,

 

This is a reminder of the deadline to submit a letter of interest and a
short resume by this Friday, January 30, 2009, if you would like to serve on
the Secretary of State's ADA Advisory Committee. Please feel free to share
this information with another organization or individual(s) you believe
would be interested.

 

 

 

Dear Potential ADA Advisory Committee Member,

 

The Ohio Secretary of State's Office is searching for people with
disabilities, advocates, disability organizations and other interested
parties to serve on an ADA Advisory Committee.  This is your chance to
provide guidance to the Secretary of State's Office on issues pertaining to
people with disabilities and assuring the voting process is accessible for
everyone.

 

The ADA Advisory Committee will be responsible for reviewing grant requests
submitted by county Boards of Elections to increase access for voters with
disabilities.  Along with that we are looking for members willing to assist
with helping various counties assess their polling locations for
accessibility.  The committee will provide guidance to establish and
implement a curriculum for training election officials and poll workers on
how best to interact with voters with disabilities.  In addition, committee
members will provide recommendations and guidance on disability related
issues pertaining to the voting process to the Secretary of State's Office
and the ADA Coordinator.  For your convenience a copy of the ADA Advisory
Committee summary is enclosed to help you further understand the role of a
committee member.

 

We are looking for individuals who want to make a difference in assuring
that all people, including people with disabilities have the opportunity to
vote.  If you or your organization has someone who would like to participate
on the ADA Advisory Committee for a one-year term please submit a letter of
interest and a short resume by January 30, 2009 to:

 

Ohio Secretary of State

Attn: Brett Harbage
