Monthly PLAIN Meeting - January 14, 2009

Voice of America

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.

On April 1, 2008, the Plain Language Action and Information Network (PLAIN) and the Council of Federal Executive Secretariats co-sponsored a Workshop on Clear Communication. The opening plenary session featured Congressman Braley (D-IA) who gave us an update on H.R. 3548, the Plain Language in Government Communication Act of 2007, which he introduced last fall.

Speakers at the breakout sessions covered writing clear correspondence, writing for the Web and legal writing. The closing plenary featured the Plain Talk coordinator from Washington State.
