In 2007, STC established the Ken Rainey Award for Excellence in Research to celebrate and honor the late Professor Rainey’s passion for research that results in improvements to technical communication, especially to practice. The award acknowledges the importance of exemplary research to technical communication and encourages excellence in technical communication research by honoring those whose research studies have made an outstanding contribution to the field.

This year’s winner of the Ken Rainey Award is Janice (Ginny) Redish, an STC fellow and member of the Washington, DC Chapter STC and usability consultant for Redish & Associates, Inc.

Redish will receive her award at STC’s 2008 Technical Communication Summit, June 1–4, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
