The Center for Plain Language is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. We help organizations write so clearly that everyone understands what they are saying the first time they read or hear it.
Board of Directors
The Center is run by an elected executive board. Members serve 3-year terms. Elections are held each spring.
Interested in running for the board? Contact Joanne Locke at info@centerforplainlanguage.org.
