The Technical Editing SIG is proud to recognize one of its members with the Distinguished SIG Service Award, or DSSA. Started in 2002, this DSSA recognizes exemplary dedication of a member to a SIG and its activities. Three basic criteria are considered in identifying nominees for the DSSA: length of SIG membership, consistency of service over time, and the variety of service.

Hello Technical Editing SIG members,
There are two important items that require your attention before March 1:
UPDATE YOUR WEB SITE ACCOUNT
One benefit of SIG membership is full access to the TE SIG web site. To keep your web site account active in 2010, be sure that your web site account includes your STC membership number. We will use this number to verify your SIG membership.

The Society for Technical Communication invites all SIG members to participate in a project aimed at defining the broad outline of topics most relevant to the practice and teaching of technical communication. A charter document describing the project is linked on the home page of a wiki, http://stcbok.editme.com/Home, where you will also find information on how to volunteer to contribute to the project.

Hello fellow STC Technical Editing SIG Members! Here's a quick roundup of
the news and articles as we wrap up the year.
I (Michelle Corbin, ) have thoroughly enjoyed bringing you Corrigo via the previous blog-based Web site and now our new wiki-based Web site for the past several years, but it is time for me to pass the torch to our new Managing Editor, Anitha Abraham, at .
As you can see, we had only a few articles in our final issue of the year. If you have any ideas for what you'd like to see in the newsletter in 2010, or if you have any inclination to write any type of article for the newsletter in 2010, please contact Anitha!
