Georgena Moran and Sharon Mitchell co-own Access for All, LLC. They are certified in the Universal Trail Assessment Process, objectively reviewing natural surface trails for information about trail conditions (e.g. grade, cross slope, obstacles, width). Together, they founded Access Recreation, bringing accessibility specialists from federal, state and city park and recreation departments to create the Guidelines for Providing Trail Information to People with Disabilities. When put in place, these guidelines will provide the public with easy access to better information on the accessibility of parks and recreation trails in the states of Oregon and Washington and beyond. This information will increase opportunities and safety by allowing trail users to make a more-informed decision as to which trails may best suit their needs and ability levels without being limited solely to designated ADA accessible trails.
Georgena is a certified Accessibility Specialist with the International Code Council. She has conducted accessibility site assessments since 2001.
Sharon is a videographer with Life Songs in Motion. Sharon uses skills developed through her 30 year television and radio broadcasting career to create dozens of videos on the accessibility of parks and trails. You can see examples of these here.
Access for All, LLC is certified with the state of Oregon as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Emerging Small Business (ESB) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE).
