State ADA Coordinator's Office Launches New Website

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

We are excited to launch this new website. It is our hope that our site will open a new frontier for transmitting information and sharing resources. Through the Internet, we are not bound by geographical limits. We can educate, inform and generate interest about the ADA to State and Local governments, as well as those individuals they serve, throughout our State.

We expect this website will be a valuable educational and information tool to orient ADA professionals to their roles and how to address key ADA-related areas. As you navigatethe website, consider how implementing the requirements of the ADA, a civil rights law, is the direct route to creating a customer-oriented culture that includes individuals with disabilities. To our friends and colleagues in the disability community, we hope that the website’s information and resources prove helpful to you, and encourage you all to let us know when you have a question or concern about disability access to our state government’s programs, services and activities.

We are very excited about all the possibilities that this website has to offer, and extend special thanks to Alan Perry, GBA Special Projects Director, and Sherry Britt, Webmaster, for their expertise and commitment in launching this project. We ask that each of you take the time to visit and let us know your ideas for improving this website!

Best Regards,
Mike Galifianakis, ADA Coordinator for the State of Georgia
