Chezie logoMore often than not, accommodating accessibility is often an afterthought in our ERG events (or not even a thought at all). As ERG Leaders, it’s on us to make sure every component of the our events is accessible to every single participant — no matter ability.

In anticipation of Disability Pride Month, Chezie teamed up with RespectAbility to share best practices on how we can make our events – in-person and virtual – accessible to all who want to participate!

This event was hosted by Nick Sophinos (Head of Data & Analytics at Strategus and Event Speaker at RespectAbility) and Ila Eckhoff (Managing Director at BlackRock).
