The City of Salina will host its first Accessibility Seminar on Thursday, October 3, 2024 from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm at the SACC Visit Salina Annex, 120 W. Ash St. 

This free event is sponsored by Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, OCCK, and Disability Rights Center of Kansas. 

The seminar is a half-day educational opportunity for local businesses to understand accessibility issues that individuals face and how to make their businesses more accessible. Guest speakers include: Kip Elliot and Liz Hueben of Disability Rights Center of Kansas; and Alison Butler of the City of Denver’s Division of Disability Rights. The seminar will also have a lived experience panel featuring members of the community who will discuss obstacles that are experienced in their day-to-day lives that an abled-bodied person would not experience.
