IM-STC Chapter Elections Process Is Underway

By Ben Minson on Tuesday, February 16, 2010

The time of year has come to begin our chapter elections process. I welcome all of our chapter members to become involved. As a chapter officer or committee member, you can accomplish a lot for the chapter and for yourself professionally. This year’s officers have worked hard to offer STC members and other technical communicators in our area chances to learn from each other and from other experts in our field. We have also asked for your input.

If you feel, though, that your voice isn’t being heard or that you can provide guidance for the chapter’s program, becoming an officer will give you a chance for frequent and direct input into what the chapter offers. You will also be able to interact with some very talented and enthusiastic people, just as I have.

To run for a position, fill out and submit the Candidate Election Form.

Elections will proceed on the following schedule:

• Sunday, Feb 28: Deadline for sending in your Candidate Election Form.  The Nominating Committee selects candidates.
• Saturday, March 6: The Nominating Committee announces candidates. Voting opens.
• Monday, March 22: Voting ends. 
• April: Results announced at the chapter event. (More information coming.)

For information about positions, see the Chapter Leaders page. Feel free to contact any of the current officers to ask questions about their positions.

I again invite you to run for office, join a great group of officers, and help guide the chapter’s direction in 2010 and 2011.

Note: The overall STC organization’s election process is also proceeding. See schedule and candidate information.
