Call for Assistance with Website Accessibility Review

Hello ConCom! In cooperation with our member services team's work on ensuring our physical spaces are accessible for our disabled members, our publications and website teams are working on ensuring that our online publications, including our website, email newsletters, and social media posts, are properly set up for full accessibility, including compatibility with assistive technology software and hardware.

We'd like to know: If you are an assistive technology user, would you be willing to volunteer some time to go through our website and let us know if you encounter any difficulties or incompatibilities, or find any areas that have escaped our notice and could use improvement?

If you do not use assistive technology but know someone who does, might they be willing to assist with this effort? And of course, even if you don't have the time, energy, or spoons to assist, if you are an assistive technology user who ever does encounter any difficulties with our website or other publications, we welcome comments at either website@norwescon.org or accessibility@norwescon.org.
