Learn how to increase customers, and build a competitive advantage, by addressing accessibility and disability inclusion. Jason Beloungy and Wendy Weiler of Access to Independence will provide recommendations for businesses and organizations to ensure their goods and services are accessible and useable to all. Topics will include:
About Access to Independence and their Accessibility Services: For 45 years, Access to Independence has provided advocacy, resources, and services for people of all ages, and of any type of disability. Access to Independence is a consumer-run organization, which means that the majority of its staff and leadership are people with disabilities. That lived experience informs and guides the array of Accessibility Services available for businesses, organizations, and local governments.
Business Works is topic targeted for growth-oriented business professionals. The first portion will be a presentation from the speaker to learn the content. The middle portion of the event is intended for you to work on what you just learned. We'll end with a debrief of roundtable discussions. This is a fully interactive workshop with plenty of audience participation, so bring your laptop, come ready to work and take action.
