I have stepped down as the SIG manager and program manager to join the STC Board as a director. It has been an honor to serve the P&P SIG membership and meet many of you in person at a Summit or virtually at one of our webinars. I am excited to begin a new chapter with STC, but sad to leave. I plan to continue participating in SIG activities and serving as the SIG’s Community Achievement Awards (CAA) manager.
As a result, there are some changes to the leadership team. You will see familiar names as well as three new volunteers: Linda Clark and Lynne Valois, P&P SIG Program Manager, and Ben Durham, treasurer. A big thank you to the leadership team for adjusting their responsibilities and in some cases taking on new roles. I also would like to thank the leadership team members for their dedication to the SIG. It’s been a pleasure working with you!
The Policies and Procedures SIG has earned the Bronze Community Achievement Award (CAA) for our community’s accomplishments and activities in 2019.
Our award citation reads, “For your ongoing dedication in promoting and exalting the discipline of policies and procedures communication in our community and beyond.”
Per STC’s website, “The Community Achievement Award recognizes a SIG, professional or student chapter’s outstanding accomplishments in achieving the Society’s goals through a wide range of programs and activities.” The application is a comprehensive point-based application.
STC recognized the P&P SIG and other community award winners during STC’s virtual Leadership Program on May 27.
Thank you to the volunteers who helped make our award possible.
Thank you also to the P&P SIG members for supporting our SIG. The leadership team looks forward to seeing you at a future SIG event. Please check our website for volunteer opportunities. (www.stc-pp.org)
This year's theme for the annual summit is: CAREER VISION 20/20.
It's an exciting time to be in the technical communication industry!

The background image is what our current Web site looks like. We would like to spiff it up by creating an eye-catching logo - this is where you come in:
We invite YOU to submit an entry for a P&P SIG logo!
The logo should represent the P&P community and be easily identifiable.
Logo submissions:
One entry per P&P SIG member (not yet a member? Join today!)
High-resolution image, preferably in a vector format (.cdr, .ai, .eps), or high-resolution .png, .pdf, .tif, or .jpg. (minimum 1024 x 768 pixels).
Since we are starting from scratch, any shape will be considered (square, 2:1 aspect ratio, etc.).
You get to choose colors, fonts, and other creative elements!
The P&P SIG Leadership Team will carefully select the winning logo.
Winning entry will receive a $50 gift card and bragging rights (add this to your portfolio). We will display the logo on our Web site and P&P SIG promotional materials.
