by Jackie Damrau, Competitions General Manager, 2006-2007
Our annual Awards Banquet is scheduled for Thursday evening, January 11, 2007 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Midway Road in Addison.
This is the time that we celebrate and honor our local STC members and non-members who competed in this year's Online Communications and Technical Publications competition.
This year we had 20 entries, which the Houston STC chapter members judged for us. Of these 20 entries, we have three Distinguished Technical Communication awards (two in Online Communications, one in Technical Publications). These three entries automatically qualify for entrance to the International Competitions for their respective categories.
Last year, we started a new tradition of having the Parade of Stars, where we asked select winners to give a 5-10 minute presentation about their winning entry. This year, you'll be seeing two winning entries from the Online Communications and Technical Publications competition. We know that you will enjoy seeing these entries.
As usual, all winning entries will be on display for you to view. You will have time to mingle with all the winners and personally congratulate them.
So, come help us celebrate by attending this year's Awards Banquet. Even if you did not win or did not compete this year, attending the banquet is one way to show our members and our non-member winners that you appreciate and honor their achievements. For those of you who did win an award, this is your chance to share your achievement among your peers.
