Candidate Statement:
I am a long-time STC member who is passionate about both the Society and the profession. I believe in the great benefits that our service offering brings to individuals, organizations, and the world. Technical information is being developed on an ever-increasing scale year by year as technologies are developed and available. Unfortunately, I do not see that the Society has been able to take advantage of this upswing in the global increase and need for developed technical information.
As an experienced practitioner and technical communication company executive, I believe I am the right person to lead this organization to put it back on a path of growth and excellence. My experience as President of Radcom, in addition to my extensive knowledge of the Society’s governance structure make me uniquely qualified to take this on. In my service on various non-profit boards, I have a strong sense of how successful boards and non-profit organizations run, and will bring this expertise to the STC. To sum up, I believe STC can thrive and grow in today’s global economy. I humbly ask for your vote so that I can help make this happen.
