Our team is working to make our website ADA compliant based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA, outlined here. Work to make our website accessible for all began on 11/25/19, with a goal of completing the site by 3/31/20.
We will update this post when phases of the project are completed.
