Mr. Thompson, founder of The Thompson Group, since 1991 a Walnut Creek based consultancy for strategic marketing and customer retention, will discuss the times we are in and the marketing approaches to take in a changed economy. What do we do now? How do we get the job or assignments? Where are our customers going? What will make them more likely to view us or our company as an asset? How do we think in times of war and recession? This one-hour session will include a question and answer period, along with some proven logic for marketing one's self and one's firm during periods of change. Membership Notes We are welcoming five new members into our chapter:
The total members as of September 30, 2001: 220. Congratulations to the following East Bay Chapter members who have achieved senior status:
A special congratulations to M. Gwaltney Mountford, who has achieved the rank of associate fellow. The rank of associate fellow is conferred only upon a senior member who has attained distinction in the field of technical communication. Technical Literacy The East Bay STC Technical Literacy Project is becoming known over the Internet as an important resource for educators. This project was started in 1998 to help middle and high school students from the Bay Area learn about technical writing. Technical writing helps to strengthen analytical thinking and offers teachers and students a way to understand language in terms of today's world. Teachers can view and download classroom-tested technical writing lessons, or request personalized assistance through the project's mini-grant program. The project is maintained by Lenore Weiss and T. R. Girill. For more details, or to borrow classroom material, visit the East Bay Chapter website at www.ebstc.com. To volunteer your services, or request assistance, please contact Lenore at lpweiss@earthlink.net. Society News Start planning for 2002 and add this important event to your calendar!
