I received the following request from Nancy Halverson;  She asked me to post this request to our discussion list and blog, to reach out to the STC Technical Editing SIG members.  Please contact Nancy at her e-mail address if you have questions or comments about her request.

I’m heading up the team called Fresh Eyes for the STC Member Communications committee. The object of this team is to review the communications which are heading out to the membership - from either the Board of Directors or the from the STC office.

I’m looking for people who are willing to help create guidelines and use these guidelines to keep the messages effective, inclusive and good examples of our best practices.  I’m hopeful that we can find a broad section of people to help with this, I’ve got some international representation (I myself am a Canadian living and working in the UK).

I feel that I need some editors in this group. Your expertise in establishing clear guidelines and maintaining quality would really be helpful to the STC world wide.

So, if you’re interested, please contact me at nancy.stcuk@gmail.com.
