He/Him/His
Principal-in-Charge | The W-T Group, LLC Accessibility Practice
Hoffman Estates IL
McGovern leads the Accessibility Practice at The W-T Group, LLC. He consults with parks and recreation agencies across the country regarding compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). He represented NRPA as a member of the three federal advisory committees that developed the content of the federal 2010 Standards for Accessible Design. At the request of the Department of Justice, he trained enforcement staff about how parks and recreation agencies implement the ADA, and what about the ADA mandates are unclear. He worked in parks and recreation for more than 30 years, and because of his interest in civil rights, went to law school at night while leading a parks and recreation agency. Those experiences, plus his status as a person with a disability give him a unique perspective on ADA compliance.
