January, 2009 Program - Project Manage Your Writing

"Plan" comes before "Write" in the dictionary! Dr. Bette Frick will lead you through a process for project managing your writing that will set you up for writing success! Her lively, interactive class will focus on a practical, useful plan for project managing your writing that includes the following steps:

  1. Pre-write
  2. Draft
  3. Get feedback
  4. Revise
  5. Edit/proofread

Bette Frick, Ph.D., has been teaching writing for 30 years and is a writer herself. She enthusiastically works towards "creating better writers" via her business, the Text Doctor (http://www.textdoctor.com/home.html). She received her B.A. in English from the University of Pennsylvania and her M.A. in English from the University of Hawaii, and her Ph.D. in English from

Summary of 2007-2008 year
The June, 2008 Rocky Mountain Chapter meeting included the annual chapter business meeting. Review the summary of the past year.


Rocky Mountain Chapter awarded Community of Excellence
Announced at the Society for Technical Communication annual convention this year, the award reads, "Community of Excellence presented to the Rocky Mountain Chapter for strong support of two satellite groups, allowing them the advantages of a larger community." Chapter President Deb Lockwood thanked the chapter leadership for its hard work and gave special thanks to Carmen Carmack for submitting the Community Achievement Award application that lead to the award.


Careers in technical communication
The Rocky Mountain Community is pleased to offer college classes a session with an RMC officer on what a career in technical communication may hold for students. If you know of a class that could benefit from this type of presentation, talk it over with Deb Lockwood, community past-president.

Feel free to check out this presentation (PDF) to get a sneak peek.
