Thank you
2016 Disability Access Conference
Speakers and Attendees!
DCAB would like to send a big "MAHALO"
to all our speakers
Mr. Bill Botten of the U.S. Access Board
Ms. Marsha Mazz of the U.S. Access Board
Mr. Brent Hanson of GUND Partnership
Mr. Dean Aoki of the State Department of Land and Natural Resources
Mr. Curtis Motoyama of the State Department of Transportation
who took time from their busy schedules to present at this year's design conference on May 3, 2016.
We appreciate the speakers hard work in putting together their presentations and for some, the long distance they traveled to attend our conference. It is because of our presenters that DCAB was able to offer so many sessions this year. From the feedback we received, the audience enjoyed hearing about the planning and design elements that went into The Grousbeck Center for Students and Technology at Perkins School for the Blind.
To all our attendees, thank you so much for coming, you all help to make this year's conference a success!! This was one of the biggest conferences with 211 attendees!! We hope that you all learned something new this year and we hope to be able to provide additional conferences such as this on an annual basis. If you have ideas for speakers or topics feel free to e-mail us at DCAB, we would love your feedback!
