About
EmpowerCon is a monthly series of events where people with disabilities, their families, and other supporters can learn and share everyday skills and resources to live more independent lives. But more than that, it’s a place to be who you are and to have fun. Join us for the entire series or pick and choose sessions that interest you.
EmpowerCon on April 8, 2022 is a free, virtual event about Transportation, as getting where you want to go is an important aspect of Independent Living.
First, Tanesha Durham -- the Access Eligibility Specialist and ADA Coordinator for WeGo Public Transit -- will lead us through a discussion about what is available in our area through public transit. Then a panel of people with disabilities will share how they've figured out how to successfully navigate where they would like to go. Finally, we will have a special announcement about accessible mobility from Lime's Director of Government Relations, Robert Gardner.
Please note: We are using Eventee to run the event -- so logging into Eventee is fabulous -- you must also register directly with us in order to participate in EmpowerCon. You can do that via our website here: https://empowertennessee.org/empowercon/
