What’s the LCR Doing?

The Leadership Community Resource (LCR) will officially launch on May 13—the day that Leadership Day will be held at STC’s 54th Annual Conference.

The LCR has been engaged in some exciting projects that will be rolled out in time for the conference. One of the more exciting projects is the set of Leadership training modules which can be used to enhance leadership skills or develop a community's strategic plan. Stay tuned for more information.

New LCR Lead

Mary Jo Stark is serving as the LCR's new lead. Mary Jo has an impressive record of STC leadership, having served as co-manager of the community funding project, assistant to the president for Transformation, and Society treasurer (a position she held for four years).

"The LCR will be delivering toolkits to communities that will feature an updated community handbook," says Stark. "We’ll also be delivering leadership training modules, which will contain tools that can be used by a community’s leadership council to set strategic planning or by an individual to develop training skills." The LCR will have an updated list of STC leaders who will act as mentors for leadership and community assistance. Also, a set of guidelines has been established for training leadership mentors.

Mary Jo is a principal developer at Halliburton Digital and Consulting, where she manages all of the Landmark Graphics' classic oil gas products.

Virtual Meetings for Chapters? Absolutely!

Chapters with members spread over a wide geographic area may wish to follow the example of SIGs and hold virtual council meetings. The LCR can connect chapter leaders with a SIG manager who can coach them through the process of setting up such a meeting.
