The #GAAD Foundation is partnering with #WebAIM to collect and share anonymized salary and other job-related data with the first annual Global Digital #Accessibility Salary #Survey (GDASS). The goal is to inform both organizations investing or ready to invest in accessibility, as well as the people who make technology or digital products accessible as they start or progress in their careers.
