Submit your Business Update here
We're looking for updates that are:
News: it doesn’t matter whether you’re submitting a story about accessibility or the Cyber Polygon, as long as you do so in a way that is informative and newsy to a broad audience
Show industry leadership: remember, it’s about your organization’s role as an exemplar, showing impact and solving problems
Written for a web environment: include hyperlinks to your source material and attach at least one chart, figure or other graphic that helps illustrate your post
100-350 words in length: Concise writing forces you to prioritize the news and then link to any further reading
We're not looking for:
Jargon: “If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” At least that’s what Einstein said, and who are we to argue with him?
Lack of authority: It’s best to stick to your areas of expertise and experience.
