ACMM Visit Preparation: What Colleges and Districts Need to Know

CCC Districts with an interest in participating in the Accessibility Capability Maturity Model (ACMM) need to complete two critical initial steps:

1. Executive Sponsorship: Secure an executive sponsor who holds a senior leadership position:

• For single-college districts: Vice President or higher
• For multi-college districts: Vice Chancellor or higher

The executive sponsor is crucial in establishing accessibility as an institutional priority.

2. Contact the ACMM Team: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.to discuss your participation.
