EEOC to Celebrate ADA 20th Anniversary on July 22

July 15, 2010

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will observe the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 22 with two panels of civil rights experts discussing the landmark law.

Under the theme of “Celebrating the ADA: Looking Back, Moving Forward,” ten speakers, including EEOC officials and authorities on disability law and practice, along with the complainant in a key EEOC disability rights case, will explore the “nuts and bolts of EEOC work” as well as the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, which expanded the ADA’s scope. The agency will also present awards to current and former EEOC Commissioners and staff who played key roles in the passage of the ADA, promulgation of regulations and guidance under the ADA, and enforcement of the ADA.

DATE AND TIME: Thursday, July 22, 2010, 2:00 p.m.[Eastern Time]

PLACE: EEOC Headquarters, Training Center, 131 M Street, NE, Washington, DC
