Additional Report or Announcement of Society-level Activities

Dear STC members,

I'm writing to let you know that Sherry Michaels has resigned her position as STC Director. As I am sure you are aware, Sherry has been an active member of the STC Board of Directors. The Board thanks her for her years of service to STC, particularly her strong sponsorship of Region 5 and her work with STC’s Communities.

Brenda Huettner has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors to fill Sherry’s seat as STC Director, and she will be taking over the sponsorship duties for Region 5. Brenda is a longtime STC member and an STC Fellow. She is past president of Region 5’s Southern Arizona chapter and also a longtime leader in the Management SIG. Brenda has accepted the position and she welcomes the opportunity to serve the Society on the Board of Directors. You can reach Brenda at dir5@stc.org.

Our Bylaws specify that Brenda will serve as a Director through the Board of Directors meeting in May, 2007. At that time, an elected replacement will be announced for the final year of Sherry’s term.

Sincerely,

Paula Berger
STC President, 2006-07
