The Accessibility & Disability Inclusion Committee, a new

committee under the Greater Concord Chamber of

Commerce, will meet again in August!


Suzie Scher, of @scherspaces, will give a presentation on

"Defining Accessibility."


This presentation will define

accessibility as it relates to physical spaces. We'll discuss

the history of accessibility and the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as the difference between the two.


Universal design will be defined and the 7 principles will

be summarized. The impacts of accessibility to businesses

will be shared as well as examples of improvements for

participants to consider for their spaces.


We invite all active members of the Concord Chamber who

share our passion for inclusion and accessibility to join our

group, and we look forward to collaborating with you to
