I would like to know who said that, Ryan, so that we can have a
conversation with them about their attitude.<br>

<div>So, it might be best to be honest with her, rather than
pretend like the Omni is actually going to actively work to be

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Someone came in today who was very concerned with our
efforts to make our space truly accessible - she was
particularly concerned with building improvements and
the impact on those with chemical sensitivities. She was
also concerned with the sound system at today's event as
there were some issues w/it that made it difficult for
people to hear.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>She asked us to not use any materials that will
inhibit those with chemical sensitivities from accessing
the space and to create communication around our
accessibility and needs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>She asked to see our plan for how we will do this. We
don't have this scoped out currently and I'm wondering
if someone would be willing to take on the task of
researching this issue and making recommendations to the
building Working Group as well as drawing up a basic
outline for providing greater accessibility.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can someone volunteer for this? </div>
