Helen has been active in chapter leadership ever since she joined our chapter 2 years ago, serving first as Vice President of Programs and then as President-Elect.

Helen's goals as President reflect her belief in teamwork: to work with the leadership team to continue the chapter's success; to reach out to members (new and old) in order to get them more involved with chapter activities; and to listen to our members and make sure everyone is heard.

President-Elect

David Eicher

David has been an member of our chapter for one and half years and has demonstrated his commitment to the chapter and his managerial skills by resurrecting our newsletter, the Devil Mountain Views, and by serving as its managing editor this last year.

His vision for the chapter includes increasing attendance at our monthly meetings every month and expanding our outreach efforts to the college community and the wealth of potential technical writers and editors it represents.

Treasurer

Joe Humbert

Joe has been an active volunteer with the chapter for the past four years, serving as a Web weaver/master for those four years, Treasurer for three years, and President this last year.

In previous incarnations as Treasurer, he helped the chapter find ways to cut costs to attain a more balanced budget, kept accurate account of deposits and expenses, and provided the required Society financial reports. He is more than qualified for the position, not only because of his chapter experience, but also because he has been the 'chief financial officer' with a small business he and his wife have successfully run for 27 years.

V.P. Arrangements	Jeanie Egbert
	Jeanie has been an active member of EBSTC for about 10 years, and gives full credit to the chapter for getting her her first tech writing job. Previously, she was the chapter Web Weaver for 5.5 years. She has been VP of Arrangements for the last two years. Her goal for meetings is to make sure members have a great environment in which to talk with each other.

V.P. Programs

Ann Adams

Ann has been an active volunteer with the chapter from the first meeting she attended last June, where she volunteered to become Hospitality Manager.

Before coming to the Bay Area, Ann was active in the Los Angeles chapter, serving as Membership Manager. Ann plans to include more technical topics at our meetings, along with the tried-and-true soft skills and trends topics. The technical programs she attends in the Silicon Valley have given her fresh ideas for future programs for our chapter.

Secretary

Kevin Evert

Kevin has been a member of STC for the past four years. He wants to become more active and to offer his skills of organization and note-taking to help the chapter.

Kevin has been a manager of technical writers for the past seven years and has a true passion for educating people on things that interest them. By keeping the members up-to-date on the happenings of the chapter, Kevin hopes to expand his own horizons while giving back to the group.

Nominating Committee

Elaine Pendergrast

Elaine has been an EBSTC member for over 15 years and has been actively attending Chapter meetings for the past three. Her presentation at last June's meeting was enthusiastically received.

She values all the contacts she has made and welcomes stepping into a leadership role by serving on the Nominating Committee. Her goal is to better familiarize herself with all the chapter members and encourage those with the requisite talent and enthusiasm to run for office.
