If you are an experienced technical communicator who would like a chance to expand your role in the profession, consider judging in a technical communication competition.
Touchstone, the Northern California technical communication competition has openings and has issued a call for judges for the 2008-09 competition.
Judges will receive training, will work with other experienced judges, and will see some of the best work being produced in technical communication.
Judging benefits you professionally in many ways, but this year there is an added benefit. We will hold a drawing for $200.00 toward a 2009 STC membership. The drawing will be open to all judges who successfully complete their assigned judging tasks.
More information about Touchstone is available at www.stc-touchstone.org.
Judges should plan to attend a half-day judge training meeting on Saturday, October 4th.
To volunteer to judge, read the judging information and download an application (a Microsoft Word file) at www.stc-touchstone.org/Volunteer2Judge.html. Email the completed form to xrm@pacbell.net with the subject STC Competition Judge.
If you have questions, please send an email to Richard Mateosian at: xrm@pacbell.net.
Patrick Lufkin is a long-time STC member, is active in the Touchstone leadership, and is chair of the Kenneth M. Gordon Scholarship for Technical Communication.
