About Me
- charlie reichardt CCFI systems advocate
- Hi, may name is Charles M. Reichardt , I was born and raised on Long Island and blind from birth, I grew up with one brother and two sisters, none of whom have a disability. I attended public schools and earned a Bachelor's Degree from Dowling College in Business Administration and a Master's of Science Degree from the Polytechnic Institute of New York in Business Management. I worked for IBM for many years as a Systems Analyst and also trained many disabled IBM employees and customers on how to use IBM product offerings. I currently work at the Catskill Center for Independence as a Systems Advocate acting as a liaison between our legislators and disabled community, helping to ensure the passage of legislation which positively supports persons with disabilities. I also occasionally provide information about accessible technologies to our blind and visually impaired consumers. I also keep busy with several hobbies and am active in my home community.
Action: A.10946 (Cahill)/S.7860 (Addabbo), which would require all polling sites to comply with the accessibility guidelines of the ADA, has been delivered to the Governor's desk for signature. He now has until September 17th to sign it into law or veto it. The Governor's office needs to hear from us NOW!
