The WOTE
Scoop?
By
Kitt Medrano
Due to lack
of gossip, this month's "Member Scoop" column has been temporarily recoined
"The WOTE [Write on the Edge] Scoop." Come on, now, there must be someone
out there who has fun, personal tidbits to share—new grandkids,
new significant other, heck, even your recent divorce or "vacation"
last July in Phoenix—anything! Let us in on it! (Write me at: Kitt.Medrano@wote.com.)
For now,
WOTE has earned bragging rights in more ways than one.
- Kimberly Hiland, a new STC member but not new to
STC (because she has been active in the STC for a year), recently accepted
a technical writing position at WOTE. A relative newcomer to the field,
she has a communications background with exposure to Web and graphic
design. Kim enjoys travel and Macs, and she started to learn how to
bodyboard this year. She expects to see your registration forms for
the Region 8 Conference (shameless plug). Welcome, Kim, to
WOTE and to STC San Diego!
- Richard Leatherman, STC member and WOTE marketing
manager, recently published an article for the San Diego Business
Journal about the importance of technical writing.
- Suzy
Hosie, CEO of WOTE and past president of STC San Diego, was interviewed
by the SanDiego Union-Tribune. Her Q&A writeup was published
on the SignOnSanDiego.com Web site. You can read it here: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/northcounty/20040222-9999-m1m22qa.html.
- On a healthy
note, the California Psychological Association has awarded WOTE the 2004
Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award for "WOTE's creative
and innovative practices in ensuring the health and well-being of its
workforce." They presented the award on March 27 at their annual
convention in San Diego.
And, as you
may have heard, Catherine Robinson started a new job at
Websense in Sorrento Valley on March 1. It was a great opportunity that
she just couldn't pass up. Catherine can be reached at home, 619-282-4418,
or at crobby2@yahoo.com or crobi0902@cox.net.
Congratulations, Catherine, and best of luck to you!
That's
it for this month. If you have news that you want to share, don't
hold back. Give me a call at 760-598-2490 x103 or email me at Kitt.Medrano@wote.com
Your news can be our news only if you "give it up."
