Lisa Snider
Digital accessibility is my passion in life!
For over 20 years, I have been sharing my knowledge to make the digital world more accessible for people with disabilities, in different North American settings and contexts, as a web developer, archivist, librarian, and since 2016, as a senior accessibility consultant.
I share my knowledge through workshops, presentations, courses, training, facilitation, audits, procurement consulting, etc. I specialize in digital accessibility, helping clients lower barriers for people with disabilities in websites, documents, audio, video, apps, email, e-books (EPUBs), social media, etc.
Did I mention I love legislation? I was Chair of the Accessibility for Manitobans Act, Information and Communications Standard Development Committee. I am Chair of the Nova Scotia Accessibility Act, Goods and Services Standard, and was an Associate on the Nova Scotia Accessibility Act Independent Five Year Review.
I am Vice Chair of the Federal Design and Delivery of Accessible Programs and Services Including Customer Service Standard Committee, and Member of the Accessible and Equitable Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems, and Accessibility Requirements for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Products and Services Standard Committees.
I am also a member of the Microsoft Inclusive Workplace Customer Advisory Council, collaborating with Microsoft to improve the accessibility of their products.
