  • Reasonable Accommodations:  IndependenceFirst is committed to providing the highest degree of accessibility within its means when conducting agency-sponsored events.  Please notify Rick Brumfield of your disability-related accommodation requests.  We will attempt to honor all requests but cannot assure that requests made close to the deadlines will be met.

  • Environmental/Chemical Sensitivities:  For the safety and comfort of those with chemical and environmental sensitivities, IndependenceFirst requests that persons attending agency-sponsored events please refrain from using any perfumed products such as scented soaps, hand lotions, deodorants, perfumes, colognes, or other heavily scented products such as fabric softeners or bug spray. It is also essential that we maintain a smoke-free environment, therefore in addition to not smoking in the building, we ask that you refrain from smoking in main paths of travel and doorways.
