PMC Forms a Meetup Group
PMC has created a meetup group on www.meetup.com: http://www.meetup.com/Society-for-Technical-Communication-Phila-Metro-Chapter/
So what is Meetup.com? From their website:
“Meetup is the world’s largest network of local groups. Meetup makes it easy for anyone to organize a local group or find one of the thousands already meeting up face-to-face. More than 9,000 groups get together in local communities each day, each one with the goal of improving themselves or their communities.
Meetup’s mission is to revitalize local community and help people around the world self-organize. Meetup believes that people can change their personal world, or the whole world, by organizing themselves into groups that are powerful enough to make a difference.”
PMC is hoping to reach out to members of our local community and entice them to participate in our meetings, even if they are not current STC members.
Why should you join Meetup.com? Well, it is free to join, and you can list as many interests as you like. It isn’t just for technical communication. If your interests range from backpacking to bookmaking to knitting to bird watching to home brewing to surfing, then there are meetup groups out there for you.
So go ahead a create your free Meetup.com account, join the PMC group, and also explore your other interest and find out who in your area shares those same passions!
2013 Holiday Party a Success
STC Community Affairs Committee December Leadership Webinar
What: Get on Board: Entraining Volunteers webinar
Speaker: Ben Woelk
When: Tuesday, December 10, 2013
Time: Noon-1:00pm EST
Description:
Volunteers are the life blood of a community, but often seem to be in short supply. Without fresh or reinvigorated volunteers, communities will decline. With impassioned volunteers, communities will flourish.
Using an analogy of train travel, this progression provides a framework for identifying, recruiting, and retaining volunteers.
About the Speaker:
Ben Woelk is a past president of the Rochester Chapter; architect, chair, and Board liaison of the Community Affairs Committee (CAC), and a Director of the Board of STC. Ben has identified and recruited numerous volunteers to the Rochester council, mentoring team, and the CAC Outreach Team. He’s a strong proponent of servant leadership and the importance of casting a vision.
The webinar is free. To register, send an email to cindy@paofamily.com
