Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion, and Disability
Annual Conference

Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion, and Disability:
Future History
April 27 - 28, 2010

The Multiple Perspectives conference continues a decade of community exploration of disability as an individual experience and social reality that cuts across typical divisions of education & employment; scholarship & service; business & government; race, gender & ethnicity. This year the conference is celebrating its tenth anniversary while the second decade of the ADA is coming to a close refreshed by amendments. Such milestones are an opportunity to consider where we are, how we got here and where we are going; an opportunity to step back from the immediate demands of access and reflect on how access, inclusion and disability fit with our goals of social justice, diversity and excellence. “Future History” was chosen as this year’s theme to encourage this reflection by celebrating the themes of past conferences listed below.

• 2001 - The Next Ten years
• 2002 - Disability in Context
• 2003 - Access by Design
• 2004 - Education, Citizenship, & Disability
• 2005 - Reflecting On Sameness & Difference
• 2006 - Personal Perspectives & Social Impact: The Stories We Tell”. 
• 2007 - Rights, Responsibilities, and Social Change
• 2008 - Looking Back & Thinking Ahead
• 2009 - Change, Challenge, & Collaboration
• 2010 - Future History

2010 Ken Campbell Memorial Lecture on Disability Policy

A highlight of the annual conference the Ken Campbell Memorial Lecture on Disability Policy is a free public lecture hosted by the Columbus Advisory Committee on Disability Issues to honor Campbell’s life’s work as an advocate, including over twenty years guiding the City of Columbus’ disability policies. This year's lecture "Leveraging the ADA 20th Anniversary to Transform Our Approach to Social Welfare Policy:  Rethinking Education, Workforce Investment, Disability Benefits, and Health Care" will be presented by Andrew J. Imparato,  President and CEO, American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). Prior to joining AAPD, Imparato was general counsel and director of policy for the National Council on Disability, an attorney advisor with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, counsel to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Disability Policy, and a staff attorney/Skadden Fellow with the Disability Law Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
