Our Goal…..The Education Committee conducts programs and projects aimed at school-aged children, businesses and the community in general to help to educate about various disabilities.
The Barrier Free Education Committee provides general information on how to make businesses accessible.
They also provide a speakers panel of persons living with a disability for training workshops and seminars.
Each year the Education Committee recognizes individuals, groups and businesses in our community who have broken down barriers by awarding the Access Recognition Awards.
