The U.S. Access Board will hold a town hall meeting in Atlanta on May 8 from 9:30 to 12:00 at the Atlanta Hilton. The event will feature an open dialogue on accessible design as it pertains to the built environment, transportation, communication, and information technology where members of the public can raise issues of concern or pose questions to the Board. In addition, the Board will conduct a hearing on accessibility standards it has proposed for medical diagnostic equipment that will provide an opportunity for the public to submit comments.

Registration is not required, but those who wish to provide testimony on the standards for medical diagnostic equipment are encouraged to contact Rex Pace at pace@access-board.gov, (202) 272-0023 (v), or (202) 272-0052 (TTY).
