Wednesday March 18, 2009
Please Evaluate the Meeting
Your certification program could be affected. In fact, if your work involves anything that is at the core of or even on the edge of testing, this is must-participate meeting for you and your whole team.
We all comply with the ADA (it says so in the fine print) but now will we have to do more? Or less? Or what? How do we continue to comply with the law and assure accommodation for our candidates in the absence of regulation?
Join us when ADA experts Shelby Kaiser and Janet Carson present the implications of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 for certification – and for your program!
Bring all your questions – this will be an interactive session with answers from the experts.
