Volunteer Opportunities

Run for STC RMC office

Here's a chance to get more involved, grow you management and communication skills, and have lots of fun along the way. Run for office for the 2008-2009 chapter year. Each year we elect a vice president (who succeeds the president the following year, a treasurer, a secretary, and two members to the nominating committee. If interested or if you have any questions, email us at runforoffice@stcrmc.org. Thank you and we hope to hear from you.

STC Community Technology Committee

The STC Community Technology Committee is looking for a technical support volunteer. The committee needs a volunteer with technical skills to help support/administer the STC Forum (http://stcforum.org/). STC currently does not have a volunteer to support this tool. Potential candidates must have a firm grasp of PHP coding. If you are interested or know of an STC member who would be interested, please contact the chairman, Frank Tagader, at tagader@comcast.net.

Call for Volunteers

Please remember that this chapter doesn’t run itself. While our current volunteer needs are minimal, we seriously need Program, Hospitality, and Membership Managers this year and next. Next year’s work will be that much easier if you shadow the Programs and Hospitality managers now.

Currently we’re in need of:

• A Membership Manager to meet and greet new members, follow up with them after meetings, and generally be available to answer questions about the STC. This is our ONLY “full time” volunteer position open at this time.
• One or two Seminars Assistants to help Deb Lockwood and Ron Arner run one Webinar and one Seminar this spring.
• Articles for our newsletter. The rest of the newsletter issues for this year are not themed, so you can submit an article on ANY technical communication topic you choose. Simply send it to: news@stcrmc.org.

Next year we need:

• At least two people to take on the duties of Programs Manager and Hospitality Manager.
