Hi Accessible IT Coordinators!

I am clawing my way back to work after being bedridden for over a week.

This is a last-minute notification, but we want to make sure your teams are aware of Microsoft's Ability Summit happening tomorrow and Wednesday. I think there is still time to register!

Accessibility is not a checkbox. Accessibility is a mindset that can lead to a very powerful sense of inclusion.
