The Cheryl Stephens Innovation Award of Plain Language Association International (PLAIN) honours innovation in plain language practices. The purpose of the award is to recognize advancements in our field.
Wondering if you meet the criteria as an innovator? Dictionaries define innovation as a new idea, method, or device or the process of making an idea or invention into a good or service. The Conference Board of Canada and Business Development Canada add social and economic value to their definition. Please start thinking about nominations for your own or someone else’s work.
I appreciate that this award honours me as one of PLAIN’s co-founders and my contributions to our movement. The award will be presented at the next PLAIN conference in Argentina in 2023.
Also, I continue to offer my Fireside Chats are every month on the 2nd of each month (at noon Pacific; 3:00 p.m. Eastern). Go to Eventbrite to learn more about how to participate. These sessions are open to everyone in the Plain Canada Clair community. Don’t be shy!
