FREE CONSULTING: I will be in New Orleans for two weeks, July 9 to July 21. While there, I am offering my consulting services for no fee to interested festivals and events. An event might want to review an existing access plan, begin planning from scratch, perform a site assessment, or simply sit and talk over some sticky situations. Anything is possible. Contact Gene Meneray or call 504-523-1465 to set an appointment.

I lived in New Orleans for twenty years primarily working with WWOZ Community Radio and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Two years before Katrina and Rita hit, I moved back to Massachusetts to be closer to family. I’ll always be deeply connected to New Orleans and I am grateful for the opportunity to give something back to the city where I spent most of my adult years. I look forward to sharing some of the event accessibility expertise that I have further developed since leaving New Orleans.

Description of Seminars

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that any public accommodation be accessible to people with disabilities... If an event is open to the public, it must be accessible.  Accessibility is more than providing a few accessible parking spaces and a ramp. These interactive seminars cover the basic principals of accessibility and provide practical advice that can be put to use right away. Call for rates.
