The Accessibility Committee’s overarching objective in 2004 is to integrate accessibility into our everyday business processes and practices. It is recognized that, with ongoing budget constraints, many involved with deploying technology simply do not have time to take on any additional workload. That fact makes this effort even more critical because, when accessibility is simply a part of our regular business processes, it does not mean more work, it simply means we do it right the first time.
We will continue to move forward with the idea that through education and example, we will build our culture such that accessibility is no longer a mandate, but simply part of how Maine does business. We thank you for all the time and effort during the years you participated on the Committee and we look forward to the opportunity to continue to benefit from your expertise in the area of accessible technology.
In particular, the Accessibility Committee wishes to thank those who have served as full time members and will be moving into advisory capacities:
Richard B. Thompson, Chief Information Officer
Gil Whitmore, Department of Education
Laurie Wills, Department of Administrative and Financial Services
Betty Lamoreau, Division of Purchases
Jean Arbour, Division of Purchases
Mary K. Silva, Office of the CIO.
