WHO are the members of SF BAND?

The San Francisco Bay Area Network on Disability, or SF BAND, consists of members of 2 listservs and others interested in advocating for legislation that will increase our ability to communicate and add to our effectiveness as a network. Our BAND provides information about ways of acquiring and effectively utilizing technology, especially for persons with disabilities. We have now added our collective voice to the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee, further enabling us to educate the public about our needs and unique uses of the internet.
[Go to the Congressional Internet Caucus]

The San Francisco Bay Area has a large community of people with disabilities. Many of us have found the internet to be a vital link, and for some of us it is the ONLY way to readily communicate with the outside world. Our electronic mailing lists include members from across the country as well as our local subscribers. The berkeley-band@onelist.com list is centered in the East Bay and drees@marin.org is centered in Marin County. Representing these groups at the state and national levels are two distinguished leaders, David Freeman, email at dfreeman@onyx.org and Cynthia Waddell, email at cynthia.waddell@ci.sj.ca.us. Cynthia's website is http://www.icdri.org/cynthia_waddell.htm
