The Web Accessibility Group (WAG) meets online via Collaborate web conferencing system on the first Wednesday of the month.

Topic: Accessible Events: Never the Twain Shall Meet: Meeting Planners and Disability Service Providers

Description: Those who plan college-sponsored meetings and events often fail to consider accessibility. When problems arise, it is often the Disability Support Office that is expected to make everything right. This session describes the positive outcome when a meeting planner joins forces with a disability access specialist to provide training and tools for creating successful, accessible events.
