Raymond Urgo Wins Distinguished SIG Service Award
 |
Raymond Urgo is a founding member of the Policies and Procedures SIG of STC and he has led and served in virtually every volunteer position in the SIG. He served as SIG Manager for much of the SIG’s history and has always worked hard with a positive attitude to foster and empower the P&P SIG. When Audrey Cielinski (past SIG Manager) resigned after serving for several years, no one stepped forward to fill the vacancy, so Raymond again took on the SIG Manager role. During that time, membership rose to 1,000+. Over the past 3 years, Ray developed a solid volunteer base for the SIG Executive, ensuring that he could step down again this year knowing there would be someone to take the reins. Last year Ray was made a Fellow of the STC. Now STC has again recognized Raymond’s contribution by awarding him the Distinguished SIG Service Award with the following citation: “In recognition of your dedicated leadership and service to the P&P SIG, beginning with your role as founding member then longtime SIG manager and now cheerful sponsor and mentor to SIG members and volunteers.” |
Book Reviews Wanted—And We'll Pay for the Book!
Is there a book about technical communication you’d like to buy? The P&P SIG will pay for your copy if you qualify for our book review program. How does it work? Up to four times a year, the editors of Direction will refund the cost of a qualified book on receipt of a book review and a purchase receipt.
How does a book qualify? Book selections must be approved in advance by the SIG Co-Managers based on applicability for our readers and to some extent, price. The book must also be available for purchase by other members (i.e., still in print).
Email your proposal to lois.marsh@bmo.com including the title, author, price and ISBN number.
