SUMMARY:Beyond accessibility: Meaningful inclusion in citizen experiences
DESCRIPTION:Details \nThis month\, we continue on from last month’s focus in the area of accessibility and inclusion. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, September 28th as we listen and learn from Beth Fox\, Strategic Engagement Advisor with the Canadian Digital Service. \nMany UX and service design professionals find themselves advocating for their users within their product teams\, and their larger organizations. Increasingly\, we’re being asked to help improve not just usability\, but also accessibility in experiences. In this talk\, Beth encourages us to stretch beyond what we might think of as accessible by providing real-world examples of how inclusion (or a lack of it) impacts all facets of services and design. \nBeth Fox is a public servant with over a decade of bringing user experience and service design skills to public service challenges. As a founding member of the Nova Scotia Digital Service (NSDS)\, Beth spent years as a user researcher and service designer\, advocating for the people who use government services. In her work at the province\, she was an advocate for how human-centered design improves the delivery of services. A long-time collaborator across boundaries\, Beth recently made the move from the provincial to the federal public service. This summer she joined the Canadian Digital Service (CDS) as a strategic engagement advisor. She continues to champion inclusive approaches to how the government can better serve everybody. \nConnect with her via: Twitter & Linkedin \nThere will be time for some Q&A and networking. This is a FREE event thanks to our friends at Volta and ResMed. \nThe meetup will take place in Volta’s mezzanine floor classroom. The classroom is a bit tricky to access at the moment due to ongoing building renovations\, so here are some tips to get there safely (some photos are on the event album as well): \nEnter the building through the doors at the corner of Salter and Barrington Streets.\nOnce inside\, proceed down the hallway until you see a set of elevators on the far end.\nIn the elevators\, choose L for Lobby. Sign in with security at the lobby.\nTransfer to a second set of elevators just down the hall in the lobby. Choose M for Mezzanine.\nOn the mezzanine floor\, proceed down the hall until you see the classroom.\nWe look forward to seeing everyone! ?
