Competition Update

Once again the annual Awards Banquet was held at The Cable Center on the DU campus for the winners of the 2003-2004 Art, Publication, and Online Communication Competitions last May. The keynote speaker was Deborah Fine, who entertained all present with her presentation entitled "The Fine Art of Small Talk."

You've probably heard that the Rocky Mountain Chapter's competitions are on a one-year hiatus while they undergo a reorganization. If you or someone you know is still interested in competing, don't despair! Just go to http://www.stcrmc.org/competitions_2004_2005/compete.htm for a list of other STC chapters that will be accepting entrants in their competitions.

Chapter Meetings

Don't miss the first chapter meeting of the season to be held on September 16, 2004, at the Mile High Inn in Lakewood. The presenters will be Greg Laugero and Ben Martin of Industrial Wisdom, LLC. They will be presenting on the topic of Value-based Content Management. For more details, go to the September meeting page on the chapter Website.

Speaking about chapter meetings, the program survey results have been tallied and the remaining programs for the year are being planned. Look for a detailed listing of the survey results and upcoming meeting programs in the next issue of Technicalities.
