First draft for potential tl;dr summary Comments: - 1 in 6 stat - is this correct for world? Double check. - third paragraph - potential option for bullet points on benefits, tools, etc the things we want to highlight for them to know they get with this model. Summary 1 in 6 people in the world live with a disability. Providing accessible digital products and services is the right thing to do–it’s also required by law in most countries. The W3C Accessibility Maturity Model enables organizations to evaluate and improve their accessibility policies, processes, and outcomes so that their digital products and services can be used by people with disabilities and help them achieve their accessibility goals. Accessibility is a collaborative effort, not just one person or one department’s job. Organizations of every size need help assessing their current state, identifying gaps and opportunities, and creating a plan for short-term and long-term success. The W3C Accessibility Maturity Model provides actionable guides for employee-communication, training, tools, as well as organizational, cultural and technical assessment and measurement documentation. This model is designed to work for any size of organization, from small to large corporations or government agencies. Additionally, this is intended to be independent of the requirements set forth in relevant technical accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). -- Thanks! Stacey
