The Leadership Program at the STC 2015 Summit will be Sunday, 21 June , from 8 AM to noon. The program offers an opportunity for STC community members to get together for sharing and learning, and it won’t be the same without YOU. There are a number of reasons you’ll want to attend the Leadership Program.
Where can you get a professional development opportunity that is unlike any other and free of charge? From STC, of course! Volunteering your time and expertise to judge in the International Summit Awards gives you valuable experience that you just can’t get anywhere else. Past judges often comment on how rewarding the judging experience was for them, even as it stretched their abilities and introduced them to new ways of thinking about technical communication. But it’s not for everybody. If you think you have what it takes and are ready to take what it gives, I’m pleased to invite you to apply to be a judge.
At the 2014 Summit, the India Chapter received a Community of Merit award, with the citation reading “For improving STC visibility and professional standing in the community through a high number of quality initiatives, especially the Think-Tank and Debate contests.” Chapter member Manisha Khurana was there to represent the India Chapter, and we asked her for more information about the contests. Below is what Manisha provided.
On Sunday evening at the Opening General Session of the 2014 Summit, we closed with the Honorary Fellow presentation to Alan Alda, actor and technical communicator. Alda is the namesake of and visiting professor at the Stony Brook University Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science and was honored for his work promoting the need for greater technical communication in science.
At the Opening General Session for the 2014 STC Summit in Phoenix, President Nicky Bleiel named two members as recipients of the President’s Award. The President’s Award honors one or more persons or institutions that have made distinguished contributions to the profession or the Society.
