* ‘Collective Access’ is a term that was coined by Mia Mingus and Sins Invalid and has been used in the disabled community since 2010. Collective Access is access that we intentionally create collectively, rather than individually. The goal is to create a culture where the norm is that accessibility needs are built into the fabric of an event, in this case the Annual Meeting, automatically, rather than having to be requested and individually and/or separately added on. This creates a space that is more seamlessly inclusive to more people with diverse needs. This is an ongoing process that we are constantly seeking to improve.
