On October 21, 2019 friends and supporters of Disability Rights Advocates, a national nonprofit disability rights legal center, gathered in New York to celebrate the organization and honor this year’s Eagle Award recipients. One of the honorees was Bank of America, a long-time digital accessibility and disability inclusion leader and Structured Negotiation champion.
The picture here shows me with two Bank of America leaders who attended the DRA event. To my left is Wil Lewis, Diversity & Inclusion Executive for Bank of America, Global Head of Employee Networks, Disability and LGBT Strategy. To my right is Brian Frumkin Associate General Counsel and Senior Vice President at the bank who I’ve worked with over many years on Structured Negotiation initiatives.

I attended DRA’s New York gala to be in the room when Bank of America received the award. I first began working with the bank on accessibility issues in 1995! I’m glad I did. I’m proud of the bank’s continued accessibility leadership. And proud of the role that collaborative advocacy — as shown in the remarks published here — played in that leadership.
