Accessibility Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2025

At AAMU Alumni Association Montgomery Area Chapter, we are committed to making our website accessible and usable by everyone. We strive to ensure that all visitors, including people with disabilities, can navigate our website, access information, and use our services without barriers. 

We are actively working to improve these areas and welcome your feedback. If you encounter any accessibility issues or need assistance, please contact us using one of the methods listed below.

Our Accessibility Standards

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, which are recognized as the benchmark for legal and practical accessibility.

Steps We Are Taking

To ensure accessibility, we:

  • Incorporate accessibility in our design, development, and content workflows.

  • Conduct periodic audits and testing using automated tools and assistive technologies.

  • Provide alternative text for all non-text content.

  • Maintain sufficient color contrast and scalable text options for readability.

  • Ensure that all interactive features are keyboard accessible.

  • Provide captions and/or transcripts for video and audio content.

  • Use clear navigation, headings, and labels to help all users find information easily.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full compliance, we recognize that some areas may still present accessibility challenges. These may include:

  • Third-party plugins or content not fully under our control.

  • Older files and documents that may not yet meet current accessibility standards.

We are committed to addressing these issues as quickly as possible.

Feedback and Support

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you experience barriers, encounter inaccessible content, or need assistance, please contact us:

  • Email: aamumac@gmail.com

  • Mailing Address: P.O. Box 230935, Montgomery, AL 36123.

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days.

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We are dedicated to:

  • Regular training for our team on accessibility best practices.

  • Integrating new assistive technologies as they become available.

  • Reviewing and updating our digital accessibility policy annually.

Compliance

This policy aligns with applicable accessibility laws and regulations, including:

  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (United States)
