Dear ADA and Disability Resources Colleagues],

The University of Minnesota, along with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Illinois Chicago, and the University of Michigan are hosting a virtual event to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/z.umn.edu/gaad__;!!DZ3fjg!9T_A0opPLc2V5D_CoIji8g4FESMqKwCYiCK50JGLlICuSrNvaC1CkydQsN_JoVVgtmvdlJQ55B8WgGRyTm3ZvQiAIAinmzA$> on Thursday, May 15, 2025. This year's theme, "Committing to Change", is about moving beyond awareness to action. It's about making accessibility an integral part of everything we do-from the way we communicate, design, and innovate, to how we create a more equitable future for everyone.

We invite passionate and knowledgeable individuals to contribute as speakers. Your insights and experiences are invaluable, and we believe they will greatly enrich our event. Find more information about the proposal criteria and the event<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/accessibility.umn.edu/gaad/2025-proposal-criteria__;!!DZ3fjg!9T_A0opPLc2V5D_CoIji8g4FESMqKwCYiCK50JGLlICuSrNvaC1CkydQsN_JoVVgtmvdlJQ55B8WgGRyTm3ZvQiAyvbXHek$> on the GAAD website.

Speaker Benefits
We deeply value the expertise and insights that each of our speakers brings to this event. To honor your contribution, we are pleased to offer a modest honorarium. Our budget is still being finalized, so we will share the details as soon as they're available.
