About Compliance Alliance

Welcome to the Compliance Alliance Website... your source for
all your ADA Compliance needs.


Hello, my name is Michael Chenail. I am the founder of Compliance Alliance and I would personally like to take this opportunity to say, "Welcome".

As a widely recognized and committed advocate for the disability community, I am dedicated to creating an awareness of the social obstacles and unconscious discrimination against those with disabilities. In 1987, only two years after I suffered a spinal cord injury as a result of a motorcycle accident, I began my work in the disability field.

Since that time I have worked with countless businesses, community organizations, and local government agencies assisting them in the recognition and resolution of accessibility issues.

I am an avid sportsman who enjoys the great outdoors, a member of the Charlottesville Cardinals wheelchair basketball team, The National Wheelchair Pool-players Association, and The National Wild Turkey Federation Wheelin' Sportsmen. When I am not advocating in the boardroom, or participating in one of the many sports or recreational opportunities available to people with disabilities today, I am diligently at work within the community… advocating for change.

Utilizing the ADA guidelines and the personal experience I have acquired over the past 21 years, as an individual with a disability, I am able to impart a practical understanding to "mainstream" business as to the basic social needs of persons with disabilities and aging Americans.

Our mission at Compliance Alliance is to network and to expand upon opportunities which enhance the quality of life for all Americans. We need to begin to visualize the ADA in terms of Universal Design, which proposes that buildings, products and services or just about anything else in our society should be designed with all users in mind.

Through education and awareness training we seek to increase the market potential of businesses such as yours by teaching strategies that support the inclusion of all Americans.

Thank you for visiting Compliance Alliance. We look forward to serving all of your ADA Compliance needs.
