Evan Kemp Associates site. Evan
J. Kemp, Jr., was the former chairman of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC). Earlier, While at SEC, Mr. Kemp was denied a promotion to a supervisory
position because he used a wheelchair. He sued the SEC and 17 months later, he won. The
successful though arduous experience made him aware of the shortcomings of the federal
sector complaint processing system which, as chairman of the EEOC, he was able to improve
greatly. In 1979, Mr. Kemp led a group of investors to purchase Invacare, Inc., a small
firm that manufactures wheelchairs. He encouraged Invacare to include people with
disabilities in designing and marketing its products. In 1980, Mr. Kemp left the
government to head the Ralph Nader-sponsored Disability Rights Center, where he led a
successful fight against the Reagan Administration's attempts to eliminate key provisions
of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. The Act made it illegal for organizations that receive
federal funding to discriminate against people with disabilities. Evan Kemp
Associates Inc. (EKA) was founded in 1993 with five employees and a mission to provide
products and services that enhance the quality of life for America's 49 million consumers
with disabilities and chronic health conditions. Team EKA 's goals are to empower
consumers and caregivers with information, products, resources and services that increase
lifestyle options, independence and improve quality of life. Keywords: independence; quality of life |

The
original disABILITY list of almost 200 references (names and phone numbers only) came from
Mirisha who e-mailed it in February 1998 to a post-polio list-server to which we
subscribe. Upcreek CoOp converted the list to a table format, to make it easy to
use with websites and mail-merge and began adding to it as time and energy allow.
Thank you, Mirisha.
