Alternatively, are you a student who is going to graduate from a university with a technical communication degree? You may ask yourself questions such as:­ How should I apply my skills and expertise to connect my career goals to current and future marketplaces? How should I make myself the most valued technical communicator in this profession during today’s economic downturn? What do clients want to pay for? Join us on Saturday, April 10, 2010, as Carole Berkson-Ross guides us through the answers to these questions and facilitates a full-day workshop on the current needs for technical communicators and what hiring managers want to pay for. Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:59:35 -0600 http://www.stc-chicago.org/portal/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=364 Our chapter's administrative council is a governing board--it sets goals and policies, plans activities to support those goals, defines and manages budgets, and coordinates the committees that contribute to the strength and well-being of our chapter and members. Committee managers are encouraged to participate on the administrative council, discussing chapter business and making recommendations, but per our chapter bylaws, only the five elected officers are authorized to vote on final decisions. If you would like to become more involved in the chapter, now is the time to consider volunteering for a committee or for an officer's position. The secretary's position is ideal for newer members, and if you have accounting experience, you may be interested in the treasurer's position. If you are a senior member who has attended chapter activities and are familiar with our membership, the nominating committee could use your expertise.  Fri, 19 Feb 2010 23:22:19 -0600 http://www.stc-chicago.org/portal/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=362 Winners in our 38th Annual Technical Publications, Art, and Online Communication Competition will be honored at the STC Chicago Awards Banquet on Thursday, March 18, 2010.
