Good Morning Everyone,

 

This is a reminder that anyone interested in serving on the ADA Advisory Committee for the Ohio Secretary of State should submit their letter of interest/resume by Friday, November 6th.

This committee meets the second Wednesday of every other month from 10:00am until 12:00 noon in Columbus.

 

 

 

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 November 6, 2009 to:
