Society for Technical Communications : Phoenix Chapter

The 2008 Southwest Regional PAO Competitions are underway!

The Call for Entries for this year’s local competitions has been issued. Entries are being solicited for all three competitions: Publications, Art, and Online.

The entry forms, submittal instructions, and detailed information on this year’s competitions are now available on our website.

These competitions are open to all technical communication professionals; you do not have to be a member of STC to participate. Competitions have two tiers: local (chapter) and international (Society-wide) level. An entry must win an award of Distinguished Technical Communication at the local level to qualify for submission to STC’s international competition. Many, but not all chapters hold professional competitions in the fall.

The managers of this year’s competitions are Roberta Davidson and Debra Duane. For more information, contact pao@stc-phoenix.com. Information on the competitions is also available from the STC International website.

We had such a grand time at the July networking dinner, we decided to do it again! Join us for more fun on Tuesday, August 12, 2008. Our second summer dinner and networking meeting will take place at the Old Spaghetti Factory in central Phoenix.

We will have another fixed price menu for this event that provides your dinner and a non-alcoholic beverage. Other beverages are available foradditional cost.

Come join us for a lively evening of conversation and networking. We’d love to see you there!
