ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
When organizations feature accessibility statements on a website, it demonstrates the organization's commitment to creating an inclusive digital environment for all visitors. Because of this, accessibility statements are a must-have. The Southern Maryland Chapter has tested our website to ensure it is compliant with the current standards of User Accessibility. Should you experience an access issue with our website, please see below for reporting instructions or contact info@ncbwsmc.org. Thank you.
This statement was initiated on December 31, 2024.
We at the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., Southern Maryland Chapter are working to make our site, www.ncbwsmc.org accessible to people with disabilities.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.2 and Section 508 guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of A. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:
-
Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues
-
Set the language of the site
-
Set the content order of the site’s pages
-
Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages
-
Added alternative text to images, where appropriate
-
Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast minimum rating
-
Reduced the use of motion on the site
-
Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible
Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content
The accessibility of certain pages on the site depends on contents that do not belong to the organization and instead belong to WIX and the designated Merchant Accounts for donation and collection of payments, or for dissemination of selection information where a URL is provided to a third-party website. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.
Requests, issues, and suggestions
If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organization's accessibility coordinator:
