Thanks once more to the chapter and SIG leaders for filling Your Friendly Neighborhood Blogger in on what’s going on in their neighborhoods. Click the Community Events tab above to see the full listing, in chronological order and with links where provided, or see the list below the jump.
I’d like to highlight one entry in particular, the very first entry. The STC India Chapter is holding an event in Kolkata for, as they wrote me, “the first time in the history of technical writing in India.” Congratulations to the India Chapter for adding another city to its growing list.
If you’re a community leader and didn’t get my email, or if you didn’t get a chance to respond, feel free to email me and I’ll add your events to the below as soon as I can. If you weren’t able to send your event, please send now and I’ll add it to the list.
All members are invited to attend any of the below meetings, many of which are virtual. See the websites for more information or to sign up.
