Kristen stands in front of the registration sign for ALGA 2025
The Association of Local Government Auditors (ALGA) will always have a special place in my heart. It was a joy to reconnect with friends and colleagues, as well as train more auditors how to write more effectively for their audiences!✨ 2/2 #ALGA2025

It was an honor and pleasure to teach a new workshop, “Clear Writing with Impact,” to 16 local government auditors at #ALGA2025 this morning in Minneapolis. They learned about simple communication, centering their audience, developing a roadmap, and polishing for #PlainLanguage. 1/
