Recognition Monday: Community Achievement Awards

Register for the Summit today!We continue our build toward the Honors Reception at the 2015 Technical Communication Summit. STC’s (and technical communication’s) best and brightest are celebrated at the Honors Reception as part of the Summit. Below are this years honorees for the Community Achievement Awards.

The Community Achievement Awards (CAA) program recognizes STC chapters and special interest groups (SIGs) for exceptional accomplishments in meeting Society goals. The awards not only acknowledge that the obligations of a properly functioning community have been met, but that the winning communities have performed well beyond expectations.

The awards program recognizes, in a visible and meaningful manner, communities that demonstrate outstanding, innovative, and sustained performance in advancing the goals of the Society. STC recognizes the following communities for their efforts. Thank you to the committee, Tricia Spayer, Maryann Bowen, Mak Pandit, MaryKay Grueneberg, and Jamye Sagan.
