action plan beforehand so that I had a sense of their goals. The other colleges’ action plans are linked below. The questions I had were mainly around what have they been able to accomplish and what are areas where they feel stuck. I was also curious to hear
about the workgroups and if there are any challenges around leading these groups.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Perhaps more importantly, I’m following up with an email where I’m pointing out the things that I think they should share at the Spring Convening (giving sort of a pat
on the back). I’m also then sharing the one pager and request for input. It might be nice if we all send the teams we visit something similar – it shows we paid attention, we get to recognize their work and wrap it into an action item for the convening, and
then deliver the one-pager. The team emails can be found on <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hGGKyQgmMCg7GDUyDO45wRgpfqou7lbefHbNNUYbBac/edit?usp=sharing">
this spreadsheet</a>. Here’s my email:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Hi Wenatchee Access360 team!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">I wanted to thank you for welcoming me yesterday and allowing me to be part of your workgroup meeting. It was really great to see involvement
from different areas of campus and to hear about the progress you all are making.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">As I mentioned during the meeting, we’ll be asking teams to share their progress at the Spring Access360 Convening. I’d encourage you all to
share the ways in which you’ve used the grant funds to support this work and the different methods of communication you all have planned (I like that you all are coming at it from different angles, including a central web spot and/or hotline). I’d also think
folks would like to hear about how you’ve added knowledge of accessibility into your job descriptions and have been able to make accessibility training mandatory – all of those things are great successes that I think deserve some recognition.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">I’d also like to share a one-pager that CATO has put together:
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xDs-krD6r2RisbzscazrmVqe1h44sHfGE0XYXIZp_gI/edit?usp=sharing">
Request for Feedback</a>. We’ve been tasked by the presidents’ tech workgroup to develop a model for greater centralized support around accessible technology. We’re visiting various councils and commissions, and we’d especially like to get input from Access360
schools since they’re really leading the way for our system. Perhaps you can review this one pager and the presentation linked within and discuss at your next meeting what type of model would best support your work. We’re eager to hear your thoughts!
