Create your own graphics and videos using templates in Canva! CSW created a project in Canva with logos, photos, icons, and more that you can use to customize graphics and videos for your organization. Email Gray Miller to get access to the project in Canva. Once you receive access, you will see the TBS 2026 project in your Canva account.
Accessibility is Important: Use Alt Text
In order to make social media posts more accessible for people using screen readers, remember to include alt text for images. Alt text is a description of what is happening in photos or graphics. Alt text should provide context while being concise, detailed, and specific.
Here are suggestions for alt text for the social media graphics, along with instructions on how to add alt text on social media.
