STC/SM
2008-2009 Program Season |
The
STC/SM 2008-2009 Program Season featured six STC/SM Program Meetings
hosted by the STC/SM Chapter at locations across Mid-Michigan and
Metro Detroit. Spanning from September 2008 - May 2009, we heard
from a variety of speakers, including company presidents, managers,
and other senior-level and specialized professionals. The programs
featured networking opportunities, formal presentations, and discussions
of subjects ranging from software and documentation development
to professional job searching and networking.
Thank
you to all the speakers, companies providing host venues, STC/SM
volunteer staff, STC/SM Members, students, and other attendees.
This participation and demonstration of commitment to professional
development and the advancement of technical communication made
the program season possible, enjoyable, and rewarding. |
