Plain Language Initiative
The Quality and Productivity Commission launched a "Plain Language Initiative" campaign to promote the use of Plain Language. Plain Language is communication your audience can understand the first time they read or hear it. The purpose is to improve customer service and reduce costs.
Written material is in plain language if your audience can:
- Find what they need
- Understand what they find
- Use what they find to meet their needs

Six years ago, the Commission launched a countywide initiative to promote the use of clear communication to the public. Using plain language principles saves time, money and allows the public easy access to quality services.
