[Athen] FW: Possible EDUCAUSE post-conference training onaccessibility

[Kelmer, Susan M.]

Please!!  If you get this pushed through, I can come to Colorado for two
weeks straight, would LOVE that.  If we can show there's a bridge, I
will get to attend both instead of picking just one or the other!
