Samantha “Sam” Evans, ICE-CCP, CAE, MBA, brings her passionate messaging towards building more accessible and inclusive experiences to the Six Degrees of Associations Podcast this week. Sam currently serves as the Certification Director with the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP).

Emphasizing the importance of removing barriers for individuals with disabilities in digital, physical, and policy spaces, she joins our podcast while unveiling practical tactics for associations and organizations to embrace accessibility. She also explains how various disabilities necessitate diverse approaches to ensure inclusivity in both physical and digital spaces.

Her insights on vetting vendors for accessibility compliance provide a roadmap for organizations looking to prioritize inclusivity while ensuring that the “human aspect” and distinct touches that make attending in-person meetings and events so special aren’t overlooked.
