The STC exists primarily “…to advance the theory and practice of the arts and sciences of technical communication.” Whether at the Society of chapter level, this is accomplished by good program. The Program Committee is critical to our success, which is to help members succeed and continue to succeed.
This committee:
- Develops programs for monthly and special meetings and schedules speakers, meeting places, and meeting dates with the concurrence of the president (meeting sites can be assigned to an arrangements committee manager
- Contacts speakers
- Secures biographical and presentation data from each speaker
- Maintains open communication with each speaker from initial contact through the presentation
- Provides details of each program to the newsletter editor early enough for the program description to be included in the newsletter issue scheduled to reach members at least ten days before the meeting
