A SIG for Europe

The Europe SIG, approved by STC’s Board of Directors in June 2007, will focus on Europe-specific technical communication issues such as the challenges and opportunities of working in and for a multilingual and multicountry marketplace. The SIG aims to create an enduring framework for trans-European initiatives both within STC—such as in conferences and Europe-wide competitions—and in collaboration with other existing European technical communication organizations, such as TCeurope.

For further information about the Europe SIG, contact the interim comanagers, Jennifer O Neill, France Chapter STC, and David Farbey, U.K. Chapter STC. If you are interested in joining the SIG, please contact Jennifer and David; members will be able to sign up for the SIG during the upcoming renewal process.
