Greetings!

The 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is fast approaching! On July 26th, 2010 the country will celebrate the Anniversary.  The Great Lakes ADA Center in conjunction with the ADA National Network has launched an initiative titled, 2010 in 2010.  This is an effort to get 2010 state and local governments, disability organizations, businesses, educational institutions, and other organizations to issue proclamations in recognition of the 20th anniversary and to re-commit to the full implementation of the ADA.

Many local and state governments, disability organizations and businesses have already acknowledged the anniversary by issuing proclamations of re-commitment to fully implement the ADA in their communities.  The 2010 initiative strives to focus on the positive 

Please join the Great Lakes ADA Center in their efforts to get 2,010 communities to recommit to the ADA by contacting your local city, county and state officials requesting that they issue a proclamation.  Join us and become part of a nation-wide effort to proclaim a recommitment to the vision and spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act--full inclusion of people with disabilities in American life! Also, make sure the proclamation is submitted to the 2010 Anniversary site so the proclamation is recognized.  Visit http://www.2010anniversary.org/ for sample proclamations, suggested activities, and events related to the anniversary.
