    Sarah,

    I would be interested.
    Here are some details...

    I sponsored the resolution on Universal Design at AIA'08, Boston. 
    It was adopted by attending delegates. 

    Since then, I have been involved in the accessibility issues in USA and Canada.
    I was invited in 2010 by NCD to participate in the ADA Accessibility Summit, 20th. anniversary of ADA in Wash DC and have done workshops on accessibility at AIA Chapters across USA.    
    I am currently working with ICC ANSI 117.1 on accessibility upgrades and was recently requested by Association of Licensed Architects of Illinois to write an article on accessibility for CEUs.
