Eschew obfuscation, the government edition

I am not a member of the Society for Technical Communication, but I read some of its material. The STC recently announced two winners of its 2014 Diane Feldman Technical Editing Undergraduate and Graduate Scholarships.

The winner of the graduate scholarship, Cat McGinnis, has a lofty goal.

She wants to teach government employees to use plain language to foster public participation in policy construction.

Good luck, Cat.
