Free Webinar – Great Lakes ADA Center: Loud and Proud! Maximizing Your Accessibility Info for Guests

Thursday, December 12, 2024, 2-3:30 p.m. EST

Can services like sign language interpretation be requested, and if so, how? Join members of the Cultural Access Collaborative as they examine how to offer practical and sustainable information to guests about your organization’s accessibility. Participants will have the opportunity to ask the speakers questions following the presentation.
