[Nfbf-l] FW: Sendero GPS Inventor Mike May meets with President Obama

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hello all,

I think this is a very good first step.  In the actual summary of the
meeting, click on  the link below, Internet accessibility is mentioned, so
that's a good thing for us.  Since next year will be the 20th anniversary of
the ADA, perhaps there will be an extra effort to get more accomplished than
usual.  The only thing about these disability issues is the extremely wide
spectrum of issues which are necessarily included.

Sendero GPS Inventor Mike May meets with President Obama

Davis, CA.  July 27, 2009

Sendero CEO Mike May was at the White House for the 3rd time in 2009, this
time to meet privately with President Obama and members of his cabinet as
well as to attend the signing ceremony for the 19th anniversary of ADA and
the UN adoption of the disability act for 52 countries. Mike May said, "It
was exciting to be part of this small group from the disability community
and to meet the president. I feel a huge responsibility being part of this
historic dialog. There are so many possibilities to explore on the
technology frontier and I hope my, Always-a-Way perspective can be
instrumental in creating substantive progress for blind and disabled people
worldwide. This is a president that embodies hope more than any other and I
left Washington very inspired."

Mike May has been a pioneer in new product and business development in a
variety of industries for over 25 years.  His story is told in the
bestseller Crashing Through including his stem cell transplant and recovery
of some vision after 43 years of total blindness.  May founded the Sendero
Group in January 2000 to make GPS technology and location information
accessible to those who can't read print signs.  He has been on many
nonprofit boards and now serves on the boards of the Society for the Blind
and the Seeing Eye.
