Building a Culture of Accessibility Leadership

Time: April 10, 9:45 am – 10:45 am

Speakers: Michael Harshbarger

Accessibility doesn’t thrive on checklists alone — it thrives when leaders create the conditions for inclusion. This session explores how accessibility leadership can transform organizations beyond compliance. Attendees will learn how to set strategy, influence culture, and support teams in driving sustainable accessibility practices. Through case examples, we’ll examine how leaders can foster accountability, navigate resistance, and secure resources to scale accessibility. Participants will leave with practical leadership techniques for guiding both technical and non-technical teams, ensuring accessibility becomes an embedded value rather than a side project.
