In celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), on May 15th in 2025, at 1pm PST, the KP Digital Accessibility Program is proud to present a special panel discussion. We will be featuring four remarkable individuals who bring diverse perspectives and expertise (authoring, design, testing, and user research) to the forefront of accessibility and inclusive design at Kaiser Permanente. The panelists will each answer a set of pre-selected questions, leaving some time for open discussion, and then wrap up with attendee questions & answers at the end. This panel represents a cross-section of roles and responsibilities that collectively drive accessibility forward – from strategy to execution. We invite you to join the conversation, ask questions, and explore how we can all contribute to building a more inclusive digital future. Come celebrate KP’s inclusiveness on GAAD Day!
