Matthew Shapiro, Founder and CEO
Welcome to the Connector Newsletter! My name is Matthew Shapiro. I am the Founder and CEO of 6 Wheels Consulting, LLC. This quarterly message from me will serve as a recap of the activities that we have undertaken during this quarter. We are excited to have you along for the journey as we continue to grow and make the world more accessible and inclusive for all individuals. To kick us off, we have been very busy in the second quarter of 2024. We have had the privilege of working with many great partners and speaking at various events. Here are some highlights:
One of our favorite projects this quarter was with The Jamestown Foundation, where we partnered with Baskervill Architects to conduct a preliminary walk-through of several of their facilities to inquire about improving accessibility for visitors with all different types of disabilities.
We also conducted several dynamic public speaking programs for our clients, including Visit Tampa Bay, when we traveled to Tampa, FL, to conduct a program about making travel accessible and inclusive for visitors with disabilities. Additionally, we spoke to Mosley Architects at an event where we discussed building new structures in an accessible and inclusive manner.
Also in this quarter, we have been able to onboard a new 6 Wheels Connect App partner, TruFit. TruFit is an app striving to make health and wellness more accessible to people with disabilities. We are excited to be partnering with them as a member of their advisory board. We look forward to continuing to grow that partnership and making a worthwhile impact on the growth of their app.
This work is just a small sampling of what we’ve accomplished and partnerships we’ve made this quarter. We want to thank you, our loyal followers, for continuing to support us on our journey as we expand our reach and impact. We could not do our work without your undying support.
We will be back next quarter with more important updates regarding 6 Wheels Consulting’s work. In the meantime, continue to stay tuned to all our social media platforms for regular updates. I hope you all stay happy, healthy, and safe during the summer months.
Until next time,
Matthew S.
