✨ Bridging the Accessibility Gap: A Community Conversation ✨
Join an expert panel for an interactive discussion that explores the current reality of accessibility in our community, our aspirations for the future, and what kind of leadership might be needed to close that gap. Part of the programming for NEA Big Read Wichita 2025, the discussion will help you think even more deeply about this year’s selection, “Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body” by Rebekah Taussig.
Panelists for the event will include:
🔹 Hunter Vance, a local media executive who has blogged about accessing Wichita attractions by wheelchair
🔹 Mika Pyyhkala, director of digital accessibility, BVI Workforce Innovation Center, Envision Inc.
🔹 Tamara Blackwell, Bel Aire, Ms. Wheelchair America 2025, and Ms. Wheelchair Kansas 2024
🔹 Virginia Zapote, ADA/Utility/Right-of-Way Coordinator, City of Wichita
