Accessibility in Technology in the State of Minnesota
For the past year, the Technology Accessibility Standards Implementation project has been underway. Accessibility standards are in the process of being adopted into the State architecture and cross-agency workgroups led by the Office of Enterprise Technology and the Department of Administration. Staff members in both of these areas have been working on tools and training needed for implementation. This session will provide an update on what we have accomplished and what’s yet to come.
The discussion will include:

About Intersect: Where public sector communications and technology professionals meet.
The Intersect group provides a forum where communications and web professionals from the public sector can discuss topics pertinent to their roles and projects. With more and more interaction taking place on the web, it is essential that communications, training, and web technology professionals work together closely and understand more about each other’s roles, processes, and challenges. Yet organizational structures — often created in the pre-web era — sometimes prevent this from happening as easily as it should.
We formed Intersect in 2007 to help public-sector peers in IT and communications overcome challenges, discuss common issues, and learn from each other. The Intersect group meets quarterly. Join us!

To keep the focus of the group on the needs of the professionals it serves, only those who are currently directly employed by a recognized public-sector entity, in an IT or communications role, are eligible for membership.
