DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: August 30\, 2018 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.\n\nLocat
 ion: Webinar\n\nDescription: What do you mean when you say your organiza
 tion “embraces accessibility”? Does that mean hiring\, retaining and p
 romoting people with disabilities? Ensuring that customers who have disabi
 lities are treated fairly and respectfully? Making sure that the technolog
 ies customers and employees use is accessible (not just the internet websi
 te\, but also the staff intranet\, the phone system\, and even break-room 
 vending machines)? We usually find that “embracing accessibility” invo
 lves enthusiastically tackling one or two areas\, but rarely does it span 
 the entire organization. In this presentation\, we’ll look at the latest
  thinking and resources for taking organization-wide approaches to embraci
 ng accessibility.\n\nThis 30-minute session will be presented by Dr. Ch
 ris M. Law\, president and owner of Accessibility Track Consulting\, LLC.
  Chris’s goal is to help lead developments in the field of organization-
 wide approaches to accessibility. Chris is the manager\, lead author and c
 ommunity of practice chair for the National Federation of the Blind’s Ac
 cessibility Switchboard Project\, which aims to provide starting point res
 ources for diverse audiences on how to incorporate accessibility across an
  organization’s activities. Chris is the convener and chair of the annua
 l ICT Accessibility Testing Symposium\, an event bringing peer-reviewed co
 nference presentations to the East Coast.\n\nTo register please click here
