Nancy recalls, “We were heavily involved in implementation but, well, were, basically, being sure that folks with disabilities knew what their new rights were, but also that businesses and town halls and whoever, schools, understood what their obligations were under the law.” Christine and Nancy were interviewed at the 2009 Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities Conference.

Summary:
“We actually heard from a number of different people in a lot of different communities,” explains Ric Edwards of the town meetings held when Justin Dart visited Indiana. Christine Dahlberg discusses the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities role in arranging meetings and inviting disability organizations to the meetings. “Our job was to find a venue and get it all set up and make sure all the advocates were invited and that there was sufficient room for them, and then even to try and get media coverage of the rallies.” Ric explains the stories they heard at the rallies laid the groundwork for the ADA. “We were able to not only hear from people as to what the real problems were, but we were able to put that into an act and actually try and address some of those questions, some of those problems, and remove some of those barriers.” Once the rallies were over, the work started on making sure the legislation passed. Christine says, “We didn’t have the internet back then.” Instead, telephones calls, mailings and faxes helped get information out to people. Ric recalls making a lot of phone calls, “I can remember the ear getting so red and swollen that you had to switch ears.” Christine and Ric were interviewed at the 2009 Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities Conference.
