[Ivi_Ge]

Hello @Kamalhasnainee and thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I just wanted to let you know that in Idea Exchange board, there is an idea Award certificates to Local Guides at different levels, please feel free to check it out and vote for it.

[Kamalhasnainee]

Hello @Ivi_Ge Thanks for your reply about my issue but I am not requesting for any award for level achievement but for only “Accessibility Champion”.

Thanks.

[Ivi_Ge]

Hi @Kamalhasnainee , yes I understood that you mentioned Accessibility, but because it is similar, it is certificate related. While this isn’t something we are able to offer right now, but you still can write your opinion in the comment and vote for it.

I know @Jesi pretty well. I have been in her accesibility meet ups three times and I can say she is a great girl very compromised with the cause!

During connect live 2019 I had the possibility to meet @IlankovanT and we had a long chat during a walk in San Francisco when he talked me about his projects of accesibility. I can say he is a great person!!

I had also the possibility to meet @PennyChristie in CL too and I can say she is a person with a lot of energy and good vibes!

Thanks @Ivi_Ge for sharing this with us!

Thank you @Cecilita

Hi, @Ivi_Ge , Thanks for sharing and letting us know the rockstars of Accessibility in the world. By the way, even I hosted my first accessibility meetup 2 years back. Have a look at the recap: Hyderabad Accessibility Walk.

After which I came to know the significance of accessibility and hosted a meetup this month. Hopefully, the recap will be ready in 2 days. Thank you, @EmekaUlor , @KashifMisidia and @ShafiulB for the inspiration and support.

First let me say a big CONGRATULATIONS to all the Accessibility Champions mentioned here, you are all awesome, hard working, Local Guides, who have accomplished so many important things this years and more!

Wow @Ivi_Ge ! I must say though, I am very hurt to have been forgotten so soon, after being featured just this October 2019, as an “Accessibility Champion” for Disabled Awareness Month, not to be included by you. localguidesconnect.com: General-Discussion: "Four Accessibility Champions Making A Difference On Maps“

Thank you for sharing about these accessibility champions @Ivi_Ge ! Every time I read these stories I learn how others are contributing in their own ways, and it helps me increase the quality of my own contributions.
