Shoreline Chamber of Commerce to hear about ADA compliance

Sunday, July 1, 2012


Membership Luncheon, Wednesday, July 11, at 11:45am, Shoreline Conference Center,  RSVP,  $20

Speaker:  J. Aaron McCullough is an attorney and consultant focusing on federal civil rights law, specifically compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
Topic:  The new ADA regulations affecting small businesses: The Good, the Bad, & the not so Ugly

There has been a lot of misinfomation about the Americans with Disabilities Act circulating over the last couple of years. You can blame an ill-informed press, unethical suppliers and so-called industry expert lobbies seeking to capiltilize the fear they create, and yes, even the state of California. 

This Shoreline Chamber of Commerce special session is designed to disabuse particpants of the misinformation, and substitute enough information to allow them to make informed decisions about what they buy, when and how to improve actual accessibility to their places of business, and how they should best and most affordably accommodate customers with disabilities. 

If you have a specific ADA-related topic you would like to have covered during the session, please email your question to Aaron McCullough at:  j.aaron.mccullough@gmail.com and add to the Subject line "Shoreline COC Question," or something similar, and Aaron will endeavor to make sure that content is also covered.

RSVP is required by Tuesday, July 10, for members and visitors so we can order lunches.  To reserve your spot please send an  email to the Chamber and Sharon will confirm your reservation, or register on-line.  

Note: If you need to cancel your reservation you must let the office know before the deadline to avoid being charged.  If you do not have a reservation you will be seating on a space available basis once the luncheon starts.
