There can be many dimensions to developing an accessibility team and program. It is important to develop the key elements of the program first to understand how and where to effectively staff it.
My book on this topic<http://www.amazon.com/Strategic-Accessibility-Organization-Jeff-Kline/dp/1936909189/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid40184031&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=strategic+it+accessiiblity> provides insight and guidance on developing such a program. The book is directed primarily and large organizations, but is easily scaled to smaller ones.

Subject: [WebAIM] Developing an Accessibility Team
Our organization has been engaged in a digital accessibility remediation project. In parallel, we've also been working on developing an ongoing program.
One aspect that we're working on is building an accessibility team. As part of that, we're initially interested in a few things:
- Do most companies have a full-time team?
- How is the team organized?
- How did other organizations get support from management for a team?
Any other information on building an accessibility team would be greatly appreciated. Our organization is in the transportation industry with an eCommerce website and mobile app.
Thanks in advance.
