Fellows and Associate Fellows
The February issue of Intercom announced the names of this year's Fellows and Associate Fellows. Below we present the citations to further honor them. STC awards Associate Fellow to Senior Members who have attained distinction in the field of technical communication. The rank of STC Fellow is conferred upon Associate Fellows who have attained such eminence in the field of technical communication that the Board deems them worthy of being singled out as one of the select few who have distinguished the Society and the profession.
The new Fellows and Associate Fellows will be honored at STC's 2010 Technical Communication Summit, 2–5 May 2010, in Dallas, TX. An honors banquet will be held on Tuesday, 4 May, from 7:30–11:00 PM. Tickets for the banquet and reception are $80 and can be purchased using the conference registration form online at http://conference.stc.org.
