MEMBER NEWS
by Sylvia Miller, SIG Membership Manager

Hello, IDL’ers of STC. By now, you're back in the routine of your jobs after the annual conference, if you attended, and if you're in the US, you're trying to find time to fit in many outdoor summer activities and keep up with work. Speaking of work, do you remember the question I asked at the end of the Member News of the last newsletter? I asked if you would share the subject matter of the training materials you develop--such as software, soft skills, hardware, gameware, healthcare, nuclear subs, haircare, food handling. I also posted this question to our online discussion list recently. Wow, did you guys respond!
