STC-PMC Podcast: A Conversation with Adriane Hunt

by

Welcome to the STC-PMC’s first video podcast! The video below was a Skype interview of one of our long time STC-PMC members, Adriane Hunt. Adriane is the Director of Mainframe Technical Communication at CA Technologies, and has been an active member in the STC-PMC as a competition judge and a member of the Mid-Atlantic Technical Conference Committee.

Adriane is running for the position of Vice-President for the STC Board of Directors this year, so we took the opportunity to find more about her and what her goals are going forward in the organization.

Enjoy!

(Note: Please excuse if the synchronization is off at parts–this is our first attempt, after all!)

STCIntercom_Jan2015coverThe STC-PMC was featured twice in the January 2015 edition of the STC publication, STC Intercom.

The first mention was on page 39 of the inclusion in the calendar of our Mid-Atlantic Technical Conference, which will be held in late March 2015.

The second feature was an article by our own chapter webmaster, Danielle M. Villegas. She wrote an article called, “I Wasn’t a Writer, So How Did I End Up As One?”
