An excellent opportunity for person’s pre-ADA (the more seasoned adults) and post-ADA (our younger set) to join together in conversation and envisioning where we go next in terms of the ADA and co-creating a more inclusive, accessible, and just society.
A phenomenal line-up of keynote speakers featuring: ▪ Michael Naranjo, a Vietnam Veteran wounded and blinded, who continued his passion of being a sculptor and is now an internationally known artist;▪ Trevon Jenifer, a young man who was born without legs and as a member of his high school wrestling team finished third in his weight class in the state of Maryland and as a student at Edinboro University is a star on the wheelchair basketball team.
A strong lineup of presenters for relevant and interesting workshop topics including: Media Portrayals, Stigma .vs. Reality, and Neighborhood Watch, and many others. ∙
From our keynote speakers to the workshops: we are very intentional about having an older adult (pre-ADA) and a younger adult (post-ADA) to co-lead!
