<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm definitely on board with the executive leadership piece -- there will be a question about that and some others that get at "show how Access360 can supplement/augment work and not be the only source of support/motivation".
I want to make sure it's clear the college has a certain level of commitment otherwise Access360 can't really help. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Requiring budget is tough. I think that's where everyone remained low, but maybe we can focus one of the convenings on how to address that... it's an area I'm really uncertain about since SBCTC doesn't even have a dedicated
budget for accessibility beyond my salary. So, hard to give advice there, but I'm sure we could find a way to pull together something. </p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I know this has come up in a few circles already, so it won’t be new – but I think leadership buy-in/commitment is critical to this process and should be a make-or-break requirement. The questions for this
could come directly from Benchmarking Tool, e.g. (Q1) “Is technology access included in your administrative vision or commitment statement?”, (Q7) “Does your central administration create, promote, and communicate accessible technology efforts across your
institution . . .?”, and “Is the budget sufficient for institution-wide efforts?”. Acceptable responses should reflect measurable indicators such as dedicated budget and staff resources.

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">At the last CATO meeting (which I think was just Mark, Karen, Ward and myself) we chatted a bit about next year’s Access360 application questions/requirements. I’m
working on this right now with our contracts team as this will need to be a competitive grant. That said, I can’t share out the questions because it’s unfair for some colleges to see them beforehand.

the responses, so any info you think might help determine who should participate we could ask for.</span></p>
