On Tuesday, December 15, the Allen County Human Resources Department will serve as a site for an ADA-Indiana-sponsored audio conference on Social Networking and Accessibility.  The conference, hosted by the City of Columbus Human Rights Commission, will begin at 2 p.m. in Room 350 of the City-County Building, 1 E. Main St., Fort Wayne.

Social networking sites, like MySpace and Facebook, have tremendous potential for employers to outreach to people with disabilities. Employers need to be concerned about the use of such technologies in their business practices. Staff from the Job Accommodation Network, specialists in developing work accommodations for people with disabilities, will discuss the critical issues and how they can be addressed by employers.

The audio conference series is co-sponsored by ADA-Indiana, the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities, and the DBTAC: Great Lakes ADA Center. For more information about this or any other ADA training event, please visit the ADA-Indiana website at www.adaindiana.org.
