Planning for the future
This month, Teach Access staff and the Board of Directors met in Chicago to begin drafting a new three-year Strategic Plan as we come to the end of our current plan drafted in 2021. As Teach Access continues to grow, we look forward to a new plan to guide us into the next three years. The new strategic plan will be released in Fall 2024 and will be shared on our website.
NEW Student Accessibility Summit:
Coming February 2025
Teach Access is excited to introduce a new event, the Student Accessibility Summit, which will occur virtually in February 2025. This multi-day event will allow students to learn about accessibility and disability through various sessions and speakers. More details about the event will come in Fall 2024!
If you would like to get involved with the Student Accessibility Summit, we are looking for volunteers to join the project team to help plan this event. Project team members can be anyone passionate about accessibility, but we would especially love current college students to join! If you are interested, contact Leslie Johnson at leslie@teachaccess.org.
