DCAB extends their heartfelt "thank you" to both Earlene and Paul for all their hard work in putting the various presentations together. We know how much time and effort went into preparing their material. We appreciate the continued support of the Access Board in helping us to put on these training events; the Access Board even printed and shipped all the handouts for each of the presentations. Thank you Access Board!!
We would also like to thank the U.S. Department of Justice; they provided the 2 reference books distributed at this year's training. "Thank you DOJ!"
