Dear Colleagues, Any member who runs for national office is a star. I have always found the voting process to be a choice between excellent and excellent, rarely between good and better. However, I have known Ben Woelk for years. His work on behalf of the Rochester Chapter, the Spectrum Conference, and the Society has been consistent, tireless, and excellent. May I urge you to consider him a strong candidate for Society VP. I took the following clip from his email: Ben Woelk, CISSP, CPTC; Candidate for Vice President, Society for Technical Communication (Voting between Feb 26 and March 9th)Scholarship Committee Chair, Society for Technical Communication Vice President and Spectrum Conference Co-Chair, Rochester Chapter, Society for Technical Communication Author of Shockproofing Your Use of Social Media: Staying Safe Online, available on Amazon Kindle. As a parting comment, our style workshop this past Saturday, Write Simply, was a great success. If you came, you can confirm. If you missed, we will see you next time. We developed a new tagline: "Saving the world one sentence at a time."
