HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 55th STC CONFERENCE

Highly Rated P&P Presentation by Raymond Urgo

By Pamela Ovington

Raymond Urgo’s session, "Assessing the Maturity Grade of Policies & Procedures Programs" at the 55th annual conference in June was a great success. Evaluation scores placed Raymond in the top ten percent of 129 speakers. Most attendees gave full marks for the quality and delivery of content and made many favorable comments about the materials and practice exercises.

A number of attendees also indicated a desire for P&P presentations at future conferences. Suggested topic ideas included organizing P&P content, information architecture for P&P, content management and discussion of standard P&P document types and templates. Quality presentations such as this cannot help but stimulate interest and promote standards in the writing of P&P. Well done, Raymond.
