Howdy. I’m Meryl Evans, CPACC.

Aside from my family, my why is to ensure everyone has equal access and to educate companies on accessibility and disabilities.

I’m a professional speaker on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with a focus on accessibility and people with disabilities. I also come with a heaping helping of a background in digital marketing. Companies bring me in to speak, provide training, and complete accessibility marketing consulting projects.

Speaking and Training Services

When you hire me to speak or train, your attendees will be educated, entertained, and encouraged to take action. Attendees will learn something new, have a few good laughs, and take action. The talk or training can be customized for your organization. I am available to travel.

I also offer a series of training sessions. Accessibility is daunting. It’s better to break up the topics over multiple sessions. Each topic has:

  • Key takeaways: What do you want them to know?
  • At least one action to take

The three biggest goals of every presentation are to …

  • Educate
  • Entertain
  • Encourage action

Spreading out the training into three separate 1-hour sessions ensures attendees learn and apply what they learn between sessions. The signature speaking and training series includes the following.

  • Disability Awareness
  • Accessibility Awareness
  • Creating an organizational culture of accessibility

For departments who want detailed training, here are potential add-ons:

  • Accessibility for marketing and communications
  • Why and how to create high-quality captions
