In November 2008, several of our members went to the Clarity Conference in Mexico City, Mexico.  This month, they will discuss their experiences at the conference.  Clarity is an international association promoting plain legal language. 

The meeting is from 2:00-3:30 pm. I hope to see you there.

Over the past several years, plain language has been gaining recognition as a tool for effective communication. We have seen a significant increase in the number of plain language projects. Data shows us that plain language saves both the reader and the organization responsible for the communication time and money. Join the Center of Plain Language in recognizing just a few examples of the progress made in recent years and the bottom-line benefits they’ve produced. We hope these examples will encourage others to commit themselves to bringing clear communications to customers.

We will also hold a briefing on the current federal legislation requiring certain government documents to be in plain language.
