September board meeting conference call
October Event
Marj, our programs coordinator, is chasing this one and will have more information for us as she hears back from the organization that we are inviting to speak to the chapter.
November Event
Scheduled for Saturday, November 7th, this event includes several sessions on creating an online presence, something that is increasingly useful (and even expected) in our field. Details will be coming soon.
Tentative Program
Out of our brainstorming in August, we have created a tentative program going through 2010. It is a work in progress at this point (see the next item). We hope to allow well known but distant leaders in tech comm reach us through webinars. This type of event would also allow more members to participate in events. Webinars are often costly for attendees, and we want to mitigate the expense to members as much as possible to allow more participation.
Polling Members
We will soon be sending out a questionnaire to the chapter to find out what you want out of STC and the Intermountain Chapter. The officers have our ideas, and we have a tentative plan for events, but we want to know what your ideas are. This will be your chance to make your voice heard and affect our events. What types of events do you prefer? What topics are of most interest to you? What are some good venues? We would like your answers to questions like these.
Our chapter events will also include brief evaluations. This isn’t to add drudgery to the events or make them look more fitting for a professional association; rather, we plan to actively use the information you give us through these evaluations to continually make our events more beneficial to you.
