Disability Network Eastern Michigan staff ensure that the voices of individuals with disabilities are heard.

One way is through participation in the Macomb County Chamber's Public Policy Committee. The Committee stays engaged on key policy issues through conversations with state leaders. They met with Jay DeBoyer - State Representative and Senator Veronica Klinefelt in May to discuss issues facing Macomb County businesses.

Quick question: is your AI struggling to summarize your own documents? There might be a reason. AI can only work with what it can actually read. And if your content isn't accessible — untagged headings, scanned PDFs, missing alt text — there's a huge chunk of your knowledge that's locked away from AI tools, too. The good news: the same fixes that help users with disabilities also unlock better AI output. One project. Two wins.
