  1) Plain Language Training.  In case you missed it, here is a link to Accessible Communication Plain Language Training,  https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=bWUbKpC7Toc   It is only 35 minutes and serves as a great reminder of ways to ensure messages are reaching all audiences!! 2)  Public Information Basics.  We have a couple offerings of the Public Information Basics course coming up.

See the attached training document for the details.   3) PIO networking.   Some extra love today for the regional PIO meetings and those that coordinate them.
