Meetings

It is our time to get in on the city’s transportation plan from the ground up.  Most of us already know that people with disabilities often are left with inaccessible and lacking systems because we were not in from the beginning on the design process.  We can start a new trend next week.  Let’s get as many people on the virtual meeting as possible.  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and see meeting details below.

Please join this meeting at least 15 minutes ahead of your scheduled hearing.

Please contact Lisa Rimmell to RSVP and receive a Zoom link to the meeting.

The Council will be meeting via Zoom on August 7th.  Those who want to attend should email lisa.rimmell@tn.gov . She will send you the link.

The May 1, 2020 Council meeting has been postponed until the next regularly scheduled meeting on August 7, 2020.

When you log into Zoom and join our meeting, your name will be placed in a drawing for a door prize!

This new way to meet will be a good way to keep in touch from home during this health crisis.  We will send you games, meetings, and fun activities by email that we can enjoy together.  Some of these will use Zoom, so this meeting will be a good beginning.

Please “Reply” to your email by Thursday, April 9th by 12pm, and let us know if you are going to join our meeting.

We will discuss the idea of interpreter licensure, how our communities feel about licensure, what has been successful and not in other states, and some specifics proposed in drafts of legislation. All D/deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, and interpreters are welcomed and encouraged to attend. Our meeting room at the Memphis Mayor's Office for Youth Services will hold approximately 50 people.
