Corporations, government agencies, and universities are moving forward with the creation of senior-level positions to oversee diverse aspects of accessibility throughout their organizations.
The IAAP Strategic Leader in Accessibility (SLiA) Global Initiative is exploring certification, professional development, and resources to support accessibility professionals who lead corporations in this regard.
This Community of Practice (CoP) will be led by the SLiA Taskforce established by IAAP. The Taskforce is made up of the following individuals:
- Chair: Jodie Greer, IT Accessibility Lead, Shell Information Technology Int'l Ltd, UK
- Co-Chair: Neil Milliken, CAO, Atos, UK
- Mary Brougher, EVP Operations, Bender Consulting, USA
- Neil Eustice, Diversity & Knowledge Manager, KPMG, UK
- Leandro Cippitelli, Asesor en Presidencia del Senado, Argentina
- Paul Smyth, Head of Digital Accessibility, Barclays, UK
- Aya Jibreal, Senior Inclusive Design Consultant, Qaderoon, Saudi Arabia
- Jay Wyant, CIAO, Office of Accessibility Minnesota IT Services, USA
- Daniel Frank, Vice President, Operational Risk Consultant, Wells Fargo Bank, USA
The Project and Community Manager for this initiative is Tracey Shipman, Program Manager, IAAP.
Please join the discussion, provide thoughts on the blog postings, and feel free to provide relevant resources to the Community through the SLiA CoP Library.
We look forward to connecting with the IAAP membership as we explore this potential Strategic Leader in Accessibility certification.
