Courthouse Access Advisory Group to Meet in San Francisco in November September 20, 2005

 

The Courthouse Access Advisory Committee will hold its next quarterly meeting November 17th and 18th in San Francisco. The Board organized this committee last year to develop design solutions and best practices for ensuring access to courthouses which pose unique challenges to accessible design. In addition, the committee is exploring outreach and partnership opportunities for disseminating the information to be developed in order to promote accessible courthouse design.

The Committee has organized subcommittees focused on courtroom access issues, courthouse areas other than courtrooms, and education and outreach. Most of the meeting time will be used for break-out subcommittee sessions. The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held at the Hiram Johnson State Building, 455 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco. For further information, contact the Board at caac@access-board.gov, (202) 272-0026 (v), or (202) 272-0082 (TTY). A notice about this meeting was published in the Federal Register.
