basis for the exchange of ideas, personal experiences and similar
pertinent information. AUTIS also supplies to
educational institutions, charitable organizations, and other
organizations, speakers who are knowledgeable in telecommunications
and information systems. By request, free communications and
information systems consultation will be provided to organizations
that qualify.
