Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from Princess Cruises and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Princess Access Compliance Manager Re-Elected to Head Access Board Jan Tuck to Chair U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Access Board for Second Time SANTA CLARITA, Calif., May 4 Jan Tuck, manager of access compliance for Princess, has been re-elected as chairperson of the U. S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Access Board, making her the first presidential appointee to head the board twice. Tuck, who was appointed to the board by President George W. Bush in 2002, also served as chair in 2003 and was vice-chair last year. "We are extremely proud that Jan's continuing leadership in the effort to improve access for individuals with disabilities, has been recognized by the Access Board members, and that she has become the first member of the public to hold this prestigious role twice," said Jan Swartz, Princess' senior vice president of customer service and sales. "Here at Princess, Jan's work has been instrumental in the ongoing evolution of our access program -- skills that are also invaluable at the national level to improve access for travelers with disabilities." A 28-year Princess employee, Tuck became the first full-time cruise line professional to focus on accessibility for passengers with disabilities when she was named to her current position in 1999. She is responsible for monitoring accessibility of all Princess ships and land operations, as well as developing methods for increasing comfort levels for all passengers with physically challenging conditions. Tuck is also a member of the Architectural Barriers Working Group of the International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL).
