"Accessibility 101"

As an extension to our DEI-focused conversations, this month's Wake Up Wired explores ways to create and promote an accessible culture at your organization. After the discussion, take a couple of minutes to tour Access Living's headquarters that features a universal design, and stands as a testament to the independence and empowerment embedded within the organization's mission. 

Sponsored by Access Living, join us for this month's Wake Up Wired as we learn how to enable Chicagoans with disabilities to live fully–engaged and self–directed lives.
