<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I greatly appreciate all the content from this podcast, which also provides a transcript. The host discusses the accessibility features, highlighting how they enhance the application.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">We, Meridith Hatch, Monica Olsson and Doug Hayman and I, met Eugene at the 2023 Accessing Higher Ground conference. In fact, he sat at our table during the evening keynote speaker and dinner.
Super nice guy! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Just a bit of background on Colleen. She is a designer, accessibility specialist, educator, and mentor. I met her when I took her course called
<a href="https://creative-boost.com/website-accessibility-course/">Foundations of Website Accessibility</a>. It was a fabulous course and I really liked working with Colleen. I continue to follow her content and this one showed up in my inbox this week so
I just felt it would be valuable to share about Venngage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
