STC Organization Wins Award

STC has been chosen as the 2004 recipient of the prestigious Diana Award given by the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Documentation (ACM SIGDOC). The ACM SIGDOC gives the Diana Award to an organization that has made an outstanding lifetime contribution to the field of user documentation. Please visit www.acm.org/sigdoc/awards.html to see details.

I've been invited to attend the ACM SIGDOC conference in Memphis, Tennessee, October 10-13 to receive the award. We'll soon post an announcement on the STC Web site and in Intercom. We will also distribute press releases to appropriate media outlets.

This is an award for STC at every level -- board, chapter leaders, membership, and office staff. Congratulations -- it's an honor well deserved!
