Good evening!
I am writing to you all today to let you know about a workshop on November
3rd, "Disability and Your Cultural Organization: Sensitivity and Strategies
for Going Beyond ADA."  This symposium provides public organizations such
as museums and historical organizations with resources and support to
develop and improve program offerings to the under-served community of
disabled students and adults.

The workshop will take place on November 3rd from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. in
the Business and Aerospace Building at MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN (Directions

.

The workshop will feature keynote speaker Krista Flores from the
Smithsonian Institute Accessibility Program, speaker Karen Wade from the
Homestead Museum in Los Angeles County, California, Dr. Lisa Pruitt from
MTSU, and a panel of other experts in the field.  In the afternoon,
participants will have the opportunity to choose 2 breakout sessions to
discuss specific techniques and strategies for certain disabilities.

Registration for this is $20, and this fee does include lunch.  Space is
