During this time of year, many individuals consider reinventing 
themselves to get a fresh start in the New Year. Our program for 
December will be a panel discussion lead by:

Amy Castronova, President and Owner of Novatek Communications, Inc.
Steve Pepe, Director of Technology at Novatek Communications, Inc.
Dr. Virginia Skinner-Linnenberg, Associate Professor and Director of 
Writing Programs at Nazareth College of Rochester.
Mary Anne Shew, Chief Inspiration Officer of Business Vitality, a 
performance improvement firm ( www.BizVitality.com).

STC members and nonmembers will benefit from the advice of these 
experts in the corporate, business, educational, and social arenas. 
Come and participate in this insightful information-sharing discussion 
with our distinguished panel: you may discover a New You for 2007.

As thought starters, the panel will address the following questions:
Looking over the past couple of years, what do you see as emerging 
trends that a person in the Technical Writing field should prepare for 
in 2007?
What skills should a person invest in to enhance their professional 
'value add' during 2007?
If you were doing an interview, what personal talents and attributes 
are most likely to leave a favorably impression with you?

The audience can direct more specific questions to the presenters. So 
challenge yourself to discover the New Year with a New You.

Please join us for dinner and an informative and spirited discussion of 
discovery and direction.
