Salesforce Accessibility

🚀 Salesforce's inaugural AI Equality Summit is taking place next Monday, and we're thrilled to be part of it! Our VP of the Office of Accessibility, Catherine Nichols, will be in conversation with Kathy Baxter, Principal Architect, Ethical AI Practice at Salesforce, Rachel Gillum, VP of Ethical & Humane Use at Salesforce and Matt Rosenberg, Chief Revenue Officer and Head of Business at Grammarly. They'll discuss the importance of building inclusive and ethical AI and how AI innovation can empower all individuals. This conversation couldn’t come at a better time as we strive to make AI accessible, equitable, and beneficial to everyone.

✨ Today's the last day of Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) ✨ As we close out the month, let’s remember that our commitment to accessibility and inclusion in the workplace doesn’t end here. Whether you identify as a person with a disability or as an ally, supporting the career journeys of people with disabilities year-round is essential to fostering a society where everyone thrives. Inclusive workplaces benefit us all — sparking innovation, creativity, and stronger collaboration. Let's carry forward this momentum every month of the year! https://lnkd.in/ekWvp99p
