Board also recognizes Hillsborough County Alliance for Citizens with Disabilities for their dedication to people with disabilities
During its July 15 meeting, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners presented a proclamation declaring July 26, 2026, as Americans with Disabilities Act 36th Anniversary Awareness Day to Janet Beyer, member of the Hillsborough County Alliance for Citizens with Disabilities and the Alliance's Public Awareness Committee.
For 36 years, the Americans with Disabilities Act has played a significant role in raising awareness and establishing a comprehensive national mandate for eliminating discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The anniversary is celebrated with the 2026 theme, "ADA 36: Celebrate. Learn. Share: Impacting Inclusion through the ARTS," which recognizes the importance of ensuring opportunities for the full inclusion and participation of residents with disabilities throughout the community.
After accepting the proclamation, Beyer thanked the Board for the recognition and for its support of the Hillsborough County Alliance for Citizens with Disabilities.
"This proclamation assures us and makes us work harder to serve with a lot of commitment, even greater than before to ensure that public programs, employment, services, and any other public areas is accessible for citizens with disabilities," she said.
