Hello EOWG Members,

My name is Billie Johnston and my Accessibility journey began about 10 years ago, when I came across a web accessibility article by happenstance. Since that day I've been dedicated to learning and helping others learn what Accessibility means, why it's important, and how to get there. I love seeing that "aha moment", when someone realizes and gains a new perspective, awareness, and recognition on a subject that is indiscernible to some, and thankfully continues to emerge and grow as commonplace practice and knowledge.

I'm looking forward to continued learning and contributing to the Education and Outreach Working Group!

Sincerely,
Billie
