End of year update
Hello ITC members!
As the ITC manager, I just wanted to post a few updates and requests for help.
1. We are actively making plans for the 2008 conference in Philadeliphia, PA, USA. ITC and GALA are excited to once again host the International Pavilion, with help from the STC office. Watch for updates AND be thinking of short presentations that you may want to give if you are attending the conference. As well, ITC members can volunteer to help translate for STC attendees and/or staff the pavilion for short periods of time. More details will be posted here in January/February 2008.
2. Theodora Landgren has done a fantastic job organizing a progression session for the 2008 conference. We will have notes on participants as they become available.
3. The STC publication, Intercom, is now in the process of working with articles and authors for the May 2008 issue which will focus on international technical communication.
4. The STC handbook is in a near-final phase of this version. Along with members of the ITC leadership team, I have been editing the handbook to address specific issues for international members and SIGs.
5. We are currently looking for a new volunteer to handle membership for ITC and the listserv. If you are interested, please email me at kelly@epd.engr.wisc.edu.
6. We could also use some volunteers to help us with a conversion of content from our old website (http://stcsig.org/itc) to this one. Interested? Please email me at kelly@epd.engr.wisc.edu. Ann Wiley has been a driving force for this project, but we could use more people to help us out.
Have a great end-of-year!
Traci Nathans-Kelly, ITC manager
