Networking Through Member Introductions

by Sarah-Beth Doner, Membership Manager

As our President, Opal Gamble, pointed out in her message last month, when you ask for more networking opportunities, we try to deliver. Our newest undertaking is to provide a forum in The Quill where members can introduce themselves.

Similar to the introductory profiles that our new members provide when they join the chapter, this forum will provide you with the opportunity to tell your fellow members about yourself, your experiences in the field, and generate communication between members with similar interests and goals.

Our Goal

Initially, we hope to provide an outlet for those members who cannot attend the monthly General meetings and other STC networking opportunities. It will be a way to reacquaint yourself with old friends and make new ones. This forum is open to all members.

Over the long-term, we hope that this forum will grow into a resource that you can look to when you want to get in touch with your colleagues in the field.

Our First Introduction

Let's begin by meeting Michael Jager.

Michael joined the STC last year, and has been using it as a learning resource. In the near future, he would like to make the move into the technical writing field.

Michael is currently employed at a small company in London, Ontario. His employer provides IT support for companies that have no dedicated IT staff. They also perform some web design duties. Michael's current position has him building workstations and performing IT for clients.

With his passion for software, computing, and all things technological, Michael knows he's on the right path!

If you are interested in contributing a profile of yourself, please contact Sarah-Beth Doner, Membership Manager at membership@stc-soc.org.
