Topic: "Branding: More than a hot iron! Mary Wise discusses the STC Brand Project" (1999-2000 STC Technical Communication Competition Traveling Exhibit also on display)

About the Event

When you hear "The Real Thing," what do you think of? Coke, of course! What about STC? What qualities do you associate with your professional organization? Tonight Mary Wise, STC's immediate past president, will tell us about the results of the STC Brand Study recently conducted by Parker LePla, and the implications that this brand has on the direction of the Society and the value of our STC membership. Before and after Mary's presentation, inspire yourself with the traveling exhibit of winning entries from the 1999-2000 International Technical Publications, Technical Art, Public Relations, and Newsletter Competitions.

This Program is co-sponsored by the STC Baltimore Chapter. Come on out to JHU/APL in Laurel. It's closer than you think!

Speakesr' Handouts and Presentations

Don't forget your business cards for networking!

We collect a business card from each attendee for a chance to win the registration fee for the Annual conference. The drawing takes place at the March program. The more programs you attend, the more chances to win.
