Webinar Overview

Improving Web Accessibility | Building a Culture of Online Inclusivity
From Remediation to Localization and Beyond

Date: Thursday, April 24th
Time: 10:00–11:00 AM Mountain Time

For mission-driven organizations, accessibility isn’t just about compliance with a standard or mandate. It’s about creating an inclusive experience for all visitors. Additionally, inclusivity should go beyond simply meeting the letter of a mandate and instead look for ways to provide better access to information and resources for members and other stakeholders.

New technology can broaden accessibility support online by automatically providing language translation for the content on your website, including documents posted online. Furthermore, these technologies can also provide the ability for the site to read the information aloud to the visitor which is important for non-English speakers or for those with reading comprehension difficulty.

But even as your association works to bring your website into compliance with Federal and State accessibility mandates, you’re likely learning about emerging litigation and lawmaking from state, federal, and global agencies that will continue to affect you.

How can you keep up, stay in compliance, and truly meet the needs of your site users?
In this practical webinar, you’ll learn where to start—and how to develop a sustainable approach to accessibility governance for your website.

You’ll Come Away Understanding:

  • Why web accessibility needs to be a priority for your organization
  • The different levels of compliance—and what “WCAG AA 2.2” means
  • How common website issues create barriers to inclusivity
  • What you need to improve the user experience
  • How to create a manageable remediation plan for technical accessibility issues
  • How to build in inclusivity from the start when you’re planning a new site or redesign
