Some Outcomes From Mate3 Networking

 #2720000

Consider Sudah an entry level actor who contacted mate3 after learning that an AI tool was being used to analyze his audition.

The second outcome was a task force to review ways to document the content that actors present at auditions.

Cathy sent her 3 answers to mate3@mate3.com after the Hertz car rental office sent her a bill for 27 parking violations in one month that were being paid by Hertz.

#2712490

Consider a Michigan woman who has lived to 99 years of age and was feeble in health, she wanted to renew her very much needed state id and could not. The reason why is that she had renewed her state ID 3 times in 12 years without a new picture. But her health is such that she would need to be brought by ambulance to the local secretary of state office to renew her state ID, and this presented an unsurmountable financial burden. Because many gatekeepers and /or state workers either can't or won't use AI tools this woman became a victim of under-trained workers in her local secretary of state office. Her daughter had a mate3 for advocacy help subscription and she sent her mother’s 3 firsthand answers to AI@mate3.com. The state of Michigan Secretary of State's Accessibility Coordinator put us on the right track. The Michigan Department of State has a dedicated process for homebound residents that most residents don’t know about. Often, they can provide a specialized renewal process that bypasses the standard requirements for a new photo if the medical necessity is documented. The outcome was that the affected person received the necessary ID, and a new networking group was started to promote early intervention to help the next affected and potentially affected people.
