Following is information about a training on Feb. 4th about Accessible Design 101 Core Concepts. Think: good heading structure, Alt text, meaningful links, lists, color contrast, etc. I am presenting with Alissa Sells from SBCTC, Susanne Weatherly from Everett,
and Shaun Hegney from Spokane. Likely, these topics would be review for everyone in this group, so do not feel any pressure to attend. Please however, pass this information along to colleagues you think will benefit.</div>
