Many government agencies, at various levels, grapple with the common challenge of enhancing their Language Access Plans to meet Limited English Proficient (LEP) requirements. The obligation to provide equal access to information for LEP individuals has been in place since 2000, marked by Executive Order 13166, signed by President Clinton. The Biden Administration further reinforced and expanded these requirements through Executive Order 13895 on January 20, 2021, emphasizing language assistance for LEP communities receiving federal funding.
The evolving demographics and increasing asylum seekers in the U.S. have underscored the need to adapt communication methods, especially in the digital age, where TransPerfect offers solutions for inclusive information dissemination across various channels.
In this webinar, attendees will explore:
- The historical and regulatory context of language access requirements
- The shifting demographics and communication needs of LEP communities
- The role of TransPerfect's GlobalLink technology platform
