2009-2010 Chapter Program Season |
The
STC/SM Programs Committee is sponsoring the STC/SM 2009-2010
Program Season, which will feature six STC/SM Program Meetings
hosted by the STC/SM Chapter at locations across Mid-Michigan
and Metro Detroit. With our season starting off with the first
program meeting of the year in October 2009, we are still
in the process of finalizing our remaining program schedule,
running through Spring and Early Summer in 2010. We are excited
to hear from a variety of speakers, including topics and learning
opportunities relevant to the professional development of
professional technical communicators. STC/SM programs feature
networking opportunities, formal presentations, and discussions
of subjects ranging from software and documentation development
to professional job searching and networking.
Thank
you to all the speakers, companies providing host venues,
STC/SM volunteer staff, STC/SM Members, students, and other
attendees. This participation and demonstration of commitment
to professional development and the advancement of technical
communication makes the program season possible, enjoyable,
and rewarding. |

2010 STC/SM Chapter Program Meeting |
The
Southeastern Michigan Chapter of the Society for Technical
Communication (STC/SM) will offer our May 2010 STC/SM
Program Meeting on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, hosted at
Thomson Reuters, in Dexter, MI. The presenter will give
a talk
about being a writer: not how to do it, but what we
do and why—how being a writer has changed in terms
of technology, channels, and speed. However, the same
basic skills apply. The same characteristics apply:
curiosity, a love of words. In addition, the presentation
will include video and sound clips to illustrate broader
points and include interactive discussion.
This
is an excellent opportunity to learn and think about
the evolving profession of technical writing, network
with your colleagues, find out about new member services
your STC/SM council has been developing, and hear about
some highlights from the STC conference recently completed
in Dallas, TX. In addition, we will also hold a surprise
door prize giveaway at the event for attendees—win
your STC/SM T-shirt!
We
look forward to the possibility of seeing you in a relaxed,
professional setting. For more information or if you
have any other questions, visit the STC/SM
Chapter Programs webpage, or send an email to the
STC/SM Programs
Manager at < programs@stc-sm.org >. To register,
