Please join us for a conversation using an exciting new process, 3 Practice Circles ( 3practices.com ) As described by the founders of the process: “Over decades, we observed, and eventually described and named the habits of people who cross the difference divide — repeatedly and on purpose. Not only do these people have time for real conversations, they’ve decided they don’t have time for conversations that aren’t real.”
In this webinar, we are going to discuss some of the most common web accessibility issues. Lots of real examples will be presented along with some ways to remediate the issues.

Your website serves as a lobby to your organization. It is crucial people know how to enter, navigate and access resources. But what lies beyond the website? Surely your organization extends beyond the lobby, doesn’t it? What about your hiring process, or your internal presentations and documentation – are they accessible? Join us and special guest Lori Samuels from NBCUniversal to discuss what lies beyond the website, and how accessibility can help transform your organization for the better.
