September 22: Entry Deadline for 2006 Lone Star STC Competitions 

Have you or your peers put a good deal of time and effort into a technical
communication project this year? Has your team created something you’re
proud of? Are you working on a project that you think will be a “keeper”?
Maybe it’s a “work in progress” and you want some objective feedback. Then
it’s time for you or your team to seek recognition for your hard work and
professionalism.

The time is here to start thinking about entering your work or that of
your team in this year’s STC Lone Star Community’s Competitions. We have
three categories—Online Communications, Technical Publications, and
Technical Art—each with many subcategories designed to address the type of
work that you or your team do.

Entry deadline is Friday, September 22, 2006.

To enter, go to http://www.stc-dfw.org/pages/comp_main.htm and download
the 2006-2007 Competition Entry Form.

Join us as we discover who the “Sat cats” are and where we’re headed in
the future.

Region 5 Conference Registration Open!

The Region 5 Conference, sponsored by LSC this year, is coming to Addison
on November 2 – 4. In homage to the Lone Star Community’s 50th
anniversary, the conference theme is the 50 Facets of Technical
Communication. Sessions are organized into four broad tracks: Usable
Tools, Standards of Practice, Global Perspectives, and Learning and
Leading. With almost 30 sessions, including four half-day workshops on
Saturday afternoon, you will find multiple sessions to interest you.

This year's Region 5 conference has an exciting program, including the
keynote speakers. John Pruitt has agreed to be the opening keynote speaker
and the closing keynote speaker will be Paula LaRocque.

One of the half-day workshops, Public Relations: Getting to the Media and
Writing the Release will be given by local Fox news reporter Jeff Crilley
and LSC's own Elisa Miller. The cost for the half-day workshops is $75,
and requires a separate registration from the conference.
