On February 10, Dr. Christian Vogler was appointed to serve as a Representative Member on the Federal Communication Commission’s Disability Advisory Committee (DAC). The DAC is the Commission’s inaugural advisory committee established to advise the agency on communications access issues for individuals with disabilities.
