If you are an experienced technical communicator who would like a chance to expand your role in the profession, consider judging in a technical communication competition.

Touchstone, the Northern California technical communication competition has openings and has issued a call for judges for the 2008-09 competition.
Judges will receive training, will work with other experienced judges, and will see some of the best work being produced in technical communication.

Judging benefits you professionally in many ways, but this year there is an added benefit. We will hold a drawing for $200.00 toward a 2009 STC membership. The drawing will be open to all judges who successfully complete their assigned judging tasks.
