Special STC Election podcast: Call for Participants
March 16th, 2007 | Posted in Technical Writing |
We’re doing a special STC election podcast next Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST, talking with the different candidates running for STC offices. If you’re running for election, and you want to talk about yourself and your vision/plans for the STC, contact me at tom@idratherbewriting.com. All you need is a landline phone.
I mentioned this elections topic at the close of my last podcast. Nicky Bleiel has already contacted me.
I’m curious to see how many candidates are tapped into the blogosphere enough to find this post on their own. Actually, I’m not sure any of the running leaders have blogs. This is a mistake. Blogs are the easiest way leaders can reach out to others, disseminate information, and build relationships. Holly Harkness’s President’s blog for the Atlanta STC is one of the coolest blogs I’ve seen. It’s been great reading the news and notes from Paula Berger, but a blog might have been easier and more powerful.

I’ll check this podcast out. I wasn’t planning on voting since my STC membership is ornamental at best, but perhaps one or more of the presidential candidates will propose something that piques my interest.

Unfortunately, the presidential candidate has no challengers. But there is some competition for directors.
By the way, can I ask why you say your STC membership is ornamental at best?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:04 pm
It’s ornamental because I haven’t realized much value from my membership. I enjoy the odd article (particularly yours about corporate blogging) in the monthly journal and I appreciate the annual salary report, but that’s about it. I consider my membership ornamental because it looks good on my resume.

Actually, there are two presidential candidates, Cindy Currie and Kit Brown. STC elects a second vice president who automatically becomes first vice president the following year and president the year after that.

Thanks Char. I wasn’t aware of the presidential succession, but Nicky explained it to me on the podcast (which I will publish shortly). Thanks for the comment.
