STC Annual
Conference
While I'm looking forward to attending the 49th Annual STC Conference
next week, my anticipation is tempered by the realization that not as
many people will be attending because of the events of last year. Many
companies are not doing as well as they were a couple of years ago. I
regret the impact of this on STC members. However, I do believe that things
will pick up and that next year we will have more people attending for
the 50th Annual STC Conference. Hang in there everyone!
VP Professional
Development
We're still looking for someone to organize and manage workshops for next
year. This is an incredibly valuable position and one that provides great
satisfaction to members. Not to mention, it's a great way to learn new
things and do some project management. If you are interested, please contact
Kris Oden at koden@invitrogen.com
