Directions

Imagine not having access to online information you need like up-to-date health and safety resources, mass transit schedules and fare information, or voting information? In recent years, a multitude of services have moved online, and people rely on websites and social media like never before.

Through the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), companies are now legally obliged to create and maintain their websites to ensure they cater to all disabilities. Adopting ADA best practices for websites and social media improves the customer experience with the business and ensures accessibility.

Want to learn what it takes to bring your organization to the forefront of adaptive technology in the ever-changing, competitive world? Join your PRSA colleagues this August for the second out of three sessions in our Sunrise Seminar Series – ADA Accessibility for Websites and Social presented by New York Times #1 Bestselling Author Michael Hingson. 

Thank you to Univera Healthcare for their sponsorship of this event.

About our speaker — 
Blind since birth, Michael has enjoyed a 30-year career working for high tech companies in management roles. His life changed dramatically on September 11, 2001, when he and his guide dog, Roselle, escaped from the 78th floor of Tower One in the World Trade Center, moments before it collapsed. Michael is currently the President and CEO of the Michael Hingson Group and a thought leader in moving from diversity to inclusion. He is also an international public speaker who delivers inspiring and thought-provoking messages on perseverance, trust, and teamwork to the world’s elite.
