In recent months, numerous local businesses have been subjected to lawsuits over violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 1990, the ADA became law to prevent businesses from discriminating against people with disabilities, whether they are employees or customers.
Any type of business...hotels, restaurants, retail shops, and other public accommodations, must remove barriers to the full and equal enjoyment of their goods and services. Businesses of all types, big and small, need to be familiar with the ADA in order to conform to its content.
Join us for a roundtable discussion on ADA compliance and how to address potential violations before they become legal issues on
Wednesday, March 18
at
8:30 a.m.
in the Daytona Regional Chamber Boardroom with Ciawanda McDonald, Disability Solutions.
There is no cost to attend but RSVP is required.
