From the President:

If you are attending the ACB convention, would you let me know by emailing me at president@ccbnet.org
We need to know how many “California Colossal chairs” to request, but also I’d like to know how many are attending even if you don’t plan to join us on the convention floor. If you wish, please include your cell phone number in case I need to poll Californians attending.

Thanks,
Judy

From Jeff Thom:

Good news on the technology front. SB1396, which we are co-sponsoring with Disability Rights California, and that would establish an Office of Accessible Technology in the State Department of Technology, has passed its Assembly policy committee and will now head to Assembly Appropriations. Amendments have been taken to reduce the cost of the bill by, among other things, limiting certain reporting requirements. The main goal of this bill is to provide the expertise to state agencies in order to ensure that their web platforms become accessible.

From Megan Ryan:

I write to you with a request. As part of our monitoring of the settlement with Sutter Health and its affiliates, we are looking for more information about patients’ recent experiences with the accessibility of Sutter Health’s website and mobile app: My Health Online. In particular, we are interested in your experience using the Message Center to send and receive messages from your health care providers.

We want to make sure the website and mobile app are accessible. If you use Sutter Health’s website or mobile app, please let me know about your experience.

The California Colossals in St. Louis!

I am proud to once again captain The California Colossals as we walk to raise funds for ACB through the Brenda Dillon Memorial Walk celebrating its 10th anniversary!

Please take time to donate to this worthy ACB fundraising effort. CCB members have already contributed over $300 so let's keep it going.

And best of all, remember, 50 percent of what you donate comes back to us at CCB.

Thanks for your involvement.
