STC 2005 Elections |
President
Chapter Nominee: Julia Cope
This year, I would like to continue in the tradition of former presidents
by working with our leadership volunteers to make membership in our
chapter a rewarding and valued experience. To achieve this goal, I
would like to accomplish two main objectives as president of the San
Francisco Chapter of the STC:
- Build interest in our chapter by supporting our monthly programs,
educational opportunities, and STC Northern California chapters’ initiatives
and activities
- Encourage volunteers to assume chapter roles and responsibilities
that can help them develop strong networks and build personal leadership
skills
Julia is a Communications Manager for Wells Fargo's Private Client
Services (PCS) in San Francisco. As part of the Internal Communications
team, she currently manages the PCS Intranet, fulfilling the duties
of project manager, editor, information architect, and content contributor
for an audience of 6,000+ financial services and support personnel.
This past year, Julia served as the San Francisco Chapter’s
vice president and webmaster.

Tim's hopes as the Vice President are to:
- Support Julia as President and David as Program Manager
- Aid the chapter's development in light of changes to the STC
- Explore developing educational events for members

develop new and creative ways of working together

Treasurer
The nominating committee is currently seeking candidates for the
office of treasurer. Until we elect a new treasure, Marc Smircich,
our current treasurer, has agreed to continue to serve in this
position. If you would like to volunteer for this position or to

Office terms begin July 1, 2005 and end on June 30, 2006. The four
officers, and past president, are responsible for guiding the ship
of state as the San Francisco STC charts its way through
the 2005-2006 year.
During their terms, elected officers are expected to attend monthly
