<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Good afternoon fellow AccessibleIT Coordinators!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">SBCTC is working on revitalizing the Committee for Accessible Technology Oversight (CATO) and is looking for volunteers from our colleges.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If you haven’t heard of CATO before, it has had a few versions in the past two years. However, this group has been supporting accessible IT work at the state level with some policy work, supporting Access
360, working on a statewide solution to the need for software accessibility testing, getting Ally available to colleges and suggesting that the SBCTC support and subsidize captioning via Caption Hub.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Anyway – the work continues and some of the reporting structure within SBCTC is moving around. The remaining CATO members feel that it is vital to have a good number of voices from the colleges at the table
to make sure work that is proposed is meaningful and helpful for us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">What is the commitment?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Nothing has been formalized yet but participating in CATO is likely going to require attendance at 4-6 meetings per year with many of these as virtual meetings and one or two face to face ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please feel free to reach out if you have any follow up questions and do let me know if you are interested!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
