Accessibility Statement

Les Dames d'Escoffier Nashville (LDEN) is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We want every member, prospective member, and visitor to be able to navigate our site, learn about our chapter, and engage with our programs and events without barriers.

Our Commitment

We're working to ensure this website conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

Ongoing efforts to improve accessibility include:

  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background

  • Providing descriptive alternative text for meaningful images

  • Structuring content with clear, consistent headings for easier navigation

  • Making sure the site can be navigated using a keyboard alone

  • Writing link text and labels that make sense out of context

  • Testing pages with accessibility evaluation tools and periodic manual review

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time fix. As we add new pages, update our events calendar, and refresh content, we review each addition against these same standards. If you encounter a page or feature that doesn't meet your needs, we want to know so we can address it.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of the LDEN website. If you experience any difficulty accessing content, or if you have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to us at info@lesdamesnashville.org. Please include:

  • The web page or feature you had trouble with

  • A description of the issue

  • The browser and device you were using, if known

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 7-10 business days and to address reported issues as quickly as possible.

Third-Party Content

Our website may link to or embed content from third-party platforms (such as event registration tools, social media, or payment processors). While we select vendors thoughtfully, we can't guarantee the accessibility of content or functionality outside our direct control. If you encounter an accessibility barrier on a linked third-party site, please let us know, and we'll do what we can to help.
