About Member Masterclass

The Member Masterclass series is an exclusive opportunity for Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce members to gain insights and practical knowledge from fellow members who are experts in their fields. These monthly sessions are designed to foster connections, expand professional know-how, and provide actionable takeaways that members can apply to their businesses immediately.

Each session features a 30-minute presentation by a Chamber member, followed by an interactive Q&A and networking opportunity.

This Month’s Topic: Digital Accessibility & ADA Compliance

Many small and medium-sized business owners understand the importance of ADA compliance for their physical locations, but did you know these regulations also extend to your digital presence? Your website, social media, and online documents should be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

Join us for an informative session on ADA Online Accessibility, where you'll:
✔ Gain an understanding of ADA compliance for websites and digital platforms
✔ Learn the POUR framework (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust) as a foundation for accessibility
✔ Discover free and practical tools like ANDI to evaluate your current online accessibility
✔ Take away actionable steps to improve digital inclusivity, from alt text to color contrast
