Access for Persons with Disabilities

NWSA works to provide an accessible conference for all attendees with disabilities and believes that persons with disabilities should be given the opportunity to participate and interact to the fullest extent possible.

As a prospective exhibitor, NWSA encourages you to make your booth accessible to persons with disabilities. This entails simple alterations to remove or modify physical barriers and to provide accessible promotional materials. Exhibitors should set up their displays to allow persons using wheelchairs to easily enter the booth and view materials. This can be done by insuring that there is ample entrance space in the display area.

Exhibitors should provide order forms or promotional materials in alternate formats such as large print, Braille, or computer disk for persons who are blind or visually impaired. Additionally, we encourage that any videos shown should be captioned for persons who are deaf or hearing impaired.

Plan in advance how you will welcome persons with disabilities into your booth. If altering your display is not an option, make up in service what you lack in "architecture."

Equal Employment Opportunity

The National Women's Studies Association endorses equal employment opportunity practices and accepts exhibit applications only from organizations that are not discriminatory on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, age, national origin, veteran status, physical disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, the numbers and ages of dependent children, or mental disability.
