Civic responsibility and plain language
(or How you can make the world a better place)
Presented by Lynda Harris, Chief Executive Write Limited, New Zealand
Can we use our skills, and our belief in the benefits of clean language, to make an even greater impact on the world? I think so! Using the idea ‘To whom much is given, much will be required’, our pending B Corp certification, and our investigation into the accessibility of payday loan documents, I hope I’ll inspire you to use your resources and influence beyond your immediate responsibilities. I’ll also pay tribute to plain language pioneers who have paved the way for you!
