Branch Chief for Interpretive Services in Yosemite National Park, Mary Kline, was the recipient of a National Park Service (NPS) National Accessibility Achievement Award in the “Programmatic Accessibility Achievement” category.

The purpose of this national awards program is to recognize outstanding accomplishments in seven categories that result in greater opportunities for person with disabilities within the NPS. The Programmatic Accessibility Achievement Award is given to an individual or group who has been responsible for the development, implementation, or improvement of programs and services within the National Park System that support the concept of universal accessibility.

The presentation of the Achievement Awards is in conjunction with the bi-annual meeting of the NPS Servicewide Accessibility Coordinating Committee and was held Oct. 22.
