Creating a Culture of Digital Accessibility Through a Role-Based Approach

Join us for this 60-minute virtual workshop with Mike Gifford, Senior Strategist at CivicActions and a thought leader on digital accessibility in the public sector. Most governments, if they consider accessibility at all, will either appoint, hire or contract a subject-matter expert (SME). This workshop will explore a role-based approach, in which responsibility is distributed to everyone on the digital team, and how this role-based approach can help create culture that supports accessibility. Participants will learn about a role-based approach to accessibility, understand how responsibilities for compliance can be distributed across a digital team, and learn about existing government resources supporting a role-based approach. Participants will walk away from the workshop with an understanding of how a role-based approach makes it possible to fix barriers earlier, and create more robust, cost-effective solutions to accessibility.
