The co-sponsors of the Digital Accessibility Initiative reached out to University of Washington leaders on December 8 to share a message about the role we all play in supporting digital accessibility across the UW.
UW leaders were encouraged to help their teams build accessibility into everyday work flows by taking advantage of training opportunities, following guidance from the Digital Accessibility Initiative (DAI) teams, and staying connected to digital accessibility news, tools, and events. The message also highlighted the importance of creating a culture where digital accessibility is encouraged, supported, and embedded into how we work at UW.
Read the December 8 message to UW leaders for more details about the expectations, resources, and ways to get involved. The Digital Accessibility Initiative team will continue to connect with University leaders, supervisors, and managers through spring 2026 as we prepare for the April 2026 deadline and a more inclusive, accessible UW.
As we head into the new year, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved and stay connected to this work, starting with the Digital Accessibility Liaisons Community of Practice.
