Ambassadors

PLAIN’s ambassadors:

  • promote plain language and PLAIN in their region and language  
  • bring a local perspective to international discussions at PLAIN 
  • are a contact for people interested in joining PLAIN 

How does an ambassador help PLAIN? 

An ambassador can do these tasks: 

  • Create content for social media in their language 
  • Promote PLAIN’s events and webinars in their region 
  • Organize online or local plain language events (such as webinars and round tables) 
  • Attend plain language events and write summaries for PLAIN members 
  • Adapt international plain language initiatives and PLAIN’s resources for their country 
  • Engage with plain language networks and experts in their region

  • Nominate local leaders in plain language for PLAIN’s awards 

An ambassador must:

  • spend 5–10 hours per month on their tasks 
  • be interested in a long-term commitment (1 year or more)

An ambassador must not:
