[Athen] Happy New Year and an ask for your feedback ...

[Bishop, Jeff - (jeffbis) via athen-list]

Hello and happy new year, ATHEN!

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and a restful winter break.

As we look ahead, we wanted to share a brief update on ATHEN and the future of this community.

For nearly three decades, ATHEN has been a steady presence for assistive technology and accessibility professionals in higher education. Members and contributors like you have been the backbone of this community-fostering expertise, collaboration, and meaningful conversation in support of access for disabled college students. We are deeply grateful for the role ATHEN has played and continues to play.

Looking forward, we want to ensure ATHEN keeps pace with the evolving landscape of assistive technology, digital accessibility, and the growing demands faced by higher education professionals in these spaces.

To help guide ATHEN's future in 2026 and beyond, we have launched a brief survey, available through January 23 at https://www.athenpro.org/membershipsurvey<https://www.athenpro.org/membershipsurvey>

Your voice is critical as the Executive Board begins planning for the year ahead. ATHEN has remained a vital resource for nearly 30 years because of knowledgeable professionals like you, and we want to continue drawing on your expertise to strengthen this community for years to come.

If you have questions or would like to share feedback not easily captured in the survey, please don't hesitate to reach out to athenpresident at gmail.com<mailto:athenpresident at gmail.com>. We will share a summary of survey results later this spring.

In addition, you will be hearing about voting opportunities coming up in the next few weeks for elected officers for the ATHEN board ...

Thank you for all you do to make ATHEN the resource it has been for so many years!

Jeff Bishop and the Executive Board
