Watch on Demand

Inclusivity should be at the forefront of every parks and recreation department’s mission. Together, let’s prioritize web accessibility and build more inclusive spaces that welcome everyone in our communities.

Watch our on-demand webinar for firsthand tips to enhance web accessibility for your residents. To help you on your optimization journey, CivicPlus® experts cover everything you need to know about making online platforms accessible, including:

  • Proven methods for increasing resident participation
  • Digital optimizations to ensure frictionless accessibility
  • Practical strategies to promote inclusivity and equal access
  • Critical compliance standards agencies need to meet to avoid costly fines

Web accessibility isn’t just a win in one area, either. When every resident can self-service their needs online, staff have more time to plan community activities, programming, and maintain park and rec facilities.
