Welcome to the CCB Happenings for November 20.
Editor’s Note:
There will be no edition of the Happenings for November 27,in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Paratransit Presentation:
The ACB Capital Chapter of the California Council of the Blind is cordially inviting you to an innovative paratransit presentation this Saturday. Our presenter will be Ron Brooks, Vice-President of Transit Market Development, American Logistics, Phoenix, AZ. There will be time for Q&A. Please share with your members.
Many of us take paratransit to get to the places we need to go. Sometimes, it works perfectly, but other times, we end up taking a very circuitous route, and we get there late. Within this presentation, Ron Brooks, a long-time ACB member and 27-year transit industry professional, will share a bit of the history of paratransit, how paratransit is beginning to evolve to meet the changing needs of customers, transit agencies and the communities who fund this service, and steps that CCB and chapter members, as well as other community stakeholders, can take to keep paratransit moving in the right direction.

Learning a New Way to Talk to Each Other:
During this time of uncertainty and change, we want to explore new ways to talk and listen to each other. Learn how to exchange ideas on sensitive topics like race and discrimination in a way that encourages dialog instead of debate or arguments. Learn how to truly hear what someone is telling you and let them know you hear them. Practice receiving feedback that may cause discomfort but help us all grow.
