I receive one email about 20 times a year. The scene changes, but the plot is always the same. Company does a review, decides to cut expenses and drastically reduces, or does away totally with the Technical Communications department.
I am passionate about technical communications and STC. My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion and compassion. I have had very early interests in writing. Though I graduated in science, I always wanted to pursue a career in writing. I earned a post graduate degree in Journalism and Communications, studied computers, and also learnt the German language. I entered the world of journalism and wrote several human interest and social articles for leading publications. Before joining the software industry (and specifically the technical communications field), I had multi-disciplinary experience across various fields, including: journalism, corporate communications, public relations, training, and management. The common thread though was communications. For 20+ years, I learnt the art and science of technical communications while developing and managing information. Currently, I am employed as Business Head – Technical Communications at Persistent.
I was recently chatting with a friend and peer who has been a member of STC for over 25 years. She told me that she seriously questioned renewing her membership this year. That she was really unsure what value STC offers her or what value she brings STC. You would think that she is the perfect composite of an STC member – She’s successful, intelligent, and accomplished; operating as her own business for nearly 3 decades.
