    Hi everyone!


    I wanted to take a moment and send a quick introduction. I am the convener of the Universal Accessibility Interest Group this year. Thank you for being a part of the group. I look forward to working with you all!


    I apologize for not getting the ball rolling sooner. I am playing catch-up from medical leave over the summer, so I appreciate your patience as I get up to speed.


    If you have suggestions for the Interest Group, do not hesitate to let me know. Also, please join me in giving a warm welcome to Laura DeLancey from Western Kentucky University, the Incoming Convener for 2015-2016.


    Best,

    John
