Center Mission and Goals
The Center's mission is to increase the usefulness and efficiency of government, legal, and business documents, so that the
people who use those documents can quickly and easily:
- Find what they need
- Understand what they find
- Act on that understanding
The Center's activities support four primary goals:
- To advocate for plain-language use, education, and training within government, the private sector, and academia.
- To conduct and disseminate research that identifies best practices and that supports plain-language use, education, and training
- To educate and equip leaders in government, business, and academia with the information and tools they need to achieve their plain-language goals.
- To support and strengthen plain language use by harnessing the energy of plain-language practitioners and advocates and by coordinating activities
that promote the use of clear communication.
