By Christopher Juillet | Chair, Fellows Nominating Committee
Each fall, the Fellows Nominating Committee invites STC Associate Fellows who have held that rank for two years to submit information to the committee for potential nomination to the rank of Fellow. This honor recognizes members’ achievements in the field of technical communication, contributions to STC, or both.
Any Associate Fellow who was inducted to that rank at or prior to the 2009 STC Annual Conference may submit an information packet to the committee. The committee reviews each candidate’s information packet and contacts the identified references. Based on evaluation of the information collected, the committee forwards nominees to the STC Board of Directors for consideration.
To be considered for selection as a Fellow, an Associate Fellow must have accomplished at least one of the following: (1) performed important work and attained distinction in the field of technical communication, (2) done notable original work that has contributed to the advancement of the field, or (3) made significant contributions to the Society and helped to tell STC’s powerful story.
In addition, they must have attained eminence in the field of technical communication through their outstanding achievements in and contributions to the arts and sciences of technical communication.
Completed applications must be received by the committee no later than 4 October. Send them to committee chair Christopher Juillet at chris@juilletlaw.com. The STC Board of Directors will consider nominated candidates in January 2011. The Society will recognize our new Fellows at an honors banquet in May at the 2011 STC Technical Communication Summit in Sacramento, California.
