Details This month, we continue on from last month's focus in the area of accessibility and inclusion. Join us on Wednesday, September 28th as we listen and learn from Beth Fox, Strategic Engagement Advisor with the Canadian Digital Service. Many 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.

A long-time collaborator across boundaries, Beth recently made the move from the provincial to the federal public service. This summer she […]
