The mission of the Wisconsin National and Community Service Board is to enrich lives and communities through service and volunteerism. The Wisconsin National and Community Service Board (WNCSB) was established in 1994 in response to the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 (refer to Wisconsin Act 437). The WNCSB supports service in Wisconsin primarily by granting AmeriCorps funds to organizations that involve citizens in service activities that meet human, educational, environmental, and public safety needs. Through their participation in AmeriCorps programs, citizens are given the opportunity to not only enrich the lives of the people and communities they serve but also their own lives through professional and personal development. AmeriCorps and other national service initiatives are funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service , a federal agency. In addition, the Corporation provides education awards to participants who successfully complete a term of service with an AmeriCorps program.

Two hundred and twenty-eight consultants, researchers, landowners, technicians, and otherenthusiasts attended "Prairie Wetlands." The theme of the 8th annual Wetland Science Forum was "Prairie Wetlands: Restoring Connections," and we attempted to use the event to emphasize the ways in which upland grasslands interact with the wetlands and to explore what those links mean for our restoration and management practices. The two-day event was punctuated by an evening banquet and a silent auction that brought in over $1100. We aimed our presentations, a panel discussion, and three focus group discussions (See the program here) at answering the question, "How can we accomplish more effective restoration to our watersheds?" We will soon release a report that compiles the contents of the panel discussion and the focus group discussions.

Extractions: In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act and strengthened provisions covering access to information in the Federal sector for people with disabilities. As amended, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires access to the Federal government's electronic and information technology. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Federal agencies must ensure that this technology is accessible to employees and the public. The law directs the Access Board to develop access standards that will become part of the Federal procurement regulations. The scope of Section 508 is limited to the federal sector. It does not apply to the private sector, nor does Section 508 impose requirements on the recipients of federal funds. However, the Department of Education interprets the Assistive Technology Act (AT Act), to require states receiving assistance under the AT Act State Grant program to comply with Section 508, including the Access Board's standards. The Department of Education, the agency responsible for administering the AT Act, plans to issue guidance to explain specifically how the proposed standards would apply to the states for purposes of the AT Act. Thus, while Section 508, on its face, is "limited to the federal sector," recipients of federal funds under the AT Act must also comply with Section 508.
