The ARRM Framework: What it is and how it can be leveraged for digital
inclusion
Join us for a live interview and interactive discussion on Thursday, August
21, 2025 at 3:00 PM CT. Reserve your seat
<https://knowbility.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d754a02a1a8a13d8a060f49e7&id=7b6538f154&e=667cdff3c3>

Are you struggling to integrate digital accessibility effectively across
your teams? Do the endless requirements feel overwhelming? You're not alone!
We're excited to invite you to a special webinar, during which we'll
introduce you to a critically important, community-developed new resource:
ARRM (Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping).
Join us for an exclusive walk-through of this recently released tool,
designed to help you distribute digital accessibility responsibility and
seamlessly integrate it into your product development and maintenance
lifecycle. No more siloed efforts!
In this session, you'll discover:
-
What ARRM is and how it can simplify your accessibility journey.
-
The collaborative process behind its development, led by accessibility
expert Denis Boudreau and a team of W3C volunteers.
-
Practical guidance on how to use ARRM to distribute and track
accessibility responsibilities across your entire team and company.
-
How you can get involved in its ongoing development and distribution
within the W3C community.
Knowbility’s Director of Training, Denis Boudreau, has spearheaded this
effort for years, gathering community input to create a solution that
minimizes the overwhelm often associated with accessibility. Now, with a
draft version of ARRM published, your participation is crucial for its
success.
Don't miss this opportunity to get an inside view of ARRM and learn how it
can transform your approach to digital accessibility.

*Denis Boudreau* is an international expert in digital accessibility and
inclusive leadership more than 25 years of experience in the field. Denis
helps inclusive leaders connect with the missing piece in their diversity,
equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts - disability inclusion - so their
organizations can go from "inclusive-ish" to truly inclusive.
Denis specializes in supporting organizations wishing to adopt more
inclusive leadership and communication practices, particularly for their
workforce and clients who live with disabilities or are aging. He offers
leaders the means to extend the reach of their message to a much broader
population. He is also the author of the Amazon bestseller "The Inclusive
Speaker,” published in 2023.
Denis is a Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies
(CPACC), a Certified Web Accessibility Specialist (CWAS), and a Certified
Professional in Web Accessibility (CPWA), a designation that only about 600
experts worldwide can claim. As a global leading inclusive communications
expert, Denis empowers busy professionals with powerful tools to bridge the
gaps that exclude up to 46% of their audience based on disabilities, aging,
and technical challenges.
Denis currently serves as Director of Training for Knowbility and co-chair
the ARRM Community group at the W3C WAI.
