Plain Language Association International (PLAIN) is the international association for plain language supporters and practitioners around the world. Our growing network includes members from over 30 countries working in clear communication in at least 15 languages.
A communication is in plain language if its wording, structure, and design are so clear that the intended audience can easily find what they need, understand what they find, and use that information.
How can we convince our colleagues that implementing plain language is worth the effort? Many of us intuitively understand the benefits. But we also need concrete data and examples to help build the case for plain language as a powerful tool.
The next issue of PLAIN’s e-journal will focus on showing results.
We are pleased to announce several initiatives that members voted for at the 2021 annual general meeting.
We understand that the cost of membership can be an obstacle to joining for some regions and we are offering reduced membership fees to new and existing members in those regions. PLAIN aims to serve a diverse, representative membership community. We already connect members from over 30 countries with a high proportion of members located in higher-income countries.
