Members of the UW community are invited to the Digital Accessibility Liaisons Community of Practice (CoP) quarterly meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 10:00-11:30 am. This online gathering is open to anyone interested in advancing digital accessibility at the University of Washington.
As we work towards the April 2026 deadline and beyond, community participation across our units, departments, and campuses is essential to ensuring that accessibility becomes an everyday part of how the UW creates and shares digital content.
This meeting is also a chance to connect with others working to make our digital spaces accessible to all. Whether you’re just getting started, supporting accessibility as part of your role, or leading efforts within your unit, the Digital Liaisons CoP offers a space to learn from colleagues, share challenges and successes, and build relationships that make this work more sustainable and effective over time.
