Programs & Education Report

[Marian Blake]

Hi All,
Well today I ginned around and sent out several
emails.  I am trying to pin down the Speakers for the
April Panel on Magazine writing.  Any other contacts
that any of you may have would be most welcome.  
So far I've contacted: 
Jorjanna Price
Glenda McKinney
Elaine Robbins
Austin Skaggs
George Brown - may have to travel, but will attend if
in town.  
I've resent emails to anyone I haven't yet heard back
from.  Let me know if I missed anyone.  

I am also trying to coordinate a Speaker with the Lone
Star Community for 2006 - 2007.  They have invited
Whitney Quesenbery to speak to them in either
September or October.  
LSC meets in DFW on the 2nd Thursday of the month.
We usually meets the 4th Tuesday of the month, but
possibly could change the monthly meeting to the 3rd
Tuesday, just after the LSC Thurs meeting to have the
opportunity to host Whitney, an expert in Usability,
Information Design & Architecture, and Storyboarding. 
She usually has a couple of sessions at each STC
Conference.    

That would then require Whitney to spend a weekend in
Texas, if she has the time.  If she does not have that
much time – perhaps we could plan a separate Seminar
on the Saturday following the LSC meeting for the
Austin Chapter.   

Anyway, I'm waiting to hear back from her. 

That's all for now,
Marian
