“Celebrating the ADA: Accessible Social Media For All”
Wednesday, July 15, 2020
10AM – 11AM
Who should participate: Communications directors, social media managers and influencers, and public information officers within public agencies
Training Summary: Are you creating engaging social media posts that are reaching the widest audience possible? Have you ever considered an audience you may be missing? People with disabilities make up over 20 percent of the U.S. population and family and friends make up another 20 percent. This training will help you ensure your business, personal platform, or organization are using accessible social media best practices to reach a more diverse audience. From offices to storefronts to websites and social media platforms, an inclusive space means a greater impact on your bottom line and the world around you.
