Elizabeth is the founder of the Seattle Cultural Accessibility Consortium, a grassroots effort to connect arts and cultural organizations with information and resources to improve accessibility for people of all abilities. The Consortium is the first of its kind in the Seattle area to address inequities in accessing arts events, programs, and spaces. Her creation of the Consortium emerged from deep listening to the arts and disability communities about the gaps in accessibility.
