Subject: Invitation to Serve on the Ohio Secretary of State's ADA Advisory Committee

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 members may be asked to provide recommendations on how the Secretary of State's office can encourage people with disabilities to vote and how best to educate the community on access-related voting issues.  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 5, 2010 to:
