September meeting

Our first meeting of the 2008-2009 year took place September 11. The topic of meet the STC planned a series of round-table discussions:

* Benefits of an STC membership
* Topics covered at the 55th Technical Communication Summit
* Topics you would like to see covered in future Technical Communication Summits
* Current trends in employment: traditional (W-2) and contract (1099)
* Employment committee enhancements planned for the 2008-2009 year

Mavis Winkle’s on Rockside Rd. in Independence provided the setting for valuable networking and fruitful exchange of information.

I attended sessions with Amy Vogt on the benefits of STC membership and David Cherney on current trends in contract (1099) employment. These sessions provided a good setting for learning more about the topics. Thank you to everyone involved in chairing sessions and participating.
