Knowbility

In Memory of Jim Thatcher (March 25, 1936 – December 7, 2019)

We are deeply saddened by the too early departure from the world of our friend Jim Thatcher. His family has established this fund to provide an annual scholarship to the AccessU training conference that Jim helped found and to create an annual award for contributions in the field of accessibility.
