JoAnna shared with us her latest PowerPoint, “Accessibility Roadmap” she presented to BbWorld last July. Her presentation offers more details of their past and upcoming strategies and plans. Some of the slides include notes that provide the context for the image that was used on the slide. JoAnna has not converted her presentation to PDF due to PowerPoint accessibility issues. If anyone has difficulty accessing to it, please let us know and we will pass this on to JoAnna. She will sort out any remaining issues.

A link to Dropbox is provided (by JoAnna) since her presentation is too large to embed in email. Please read and/or download JoAnna’s latest PowerPoint from Dropbox via email.

See you all next week!
