JOB DESCRIPTION: STC Entry Level SIG Manager
 
The STC WVC Entry Level Special Interest Group is a one-day workshop held once or 
twice each year (depending on the level of interest), intended to give prospective

   for them to review and update prior to the event.
o. Contacting local technical communications training providers for flyers on 
   their upcoming pertinent training for back-of-the-room availability.
o. Updating and making copies of the workshop workbook, agenda and handouts.
o. Arranging for a location and catering for the event 
   (usually held at the Greenwood Inn; morning/afternoon snacks and lunch are provided; 
   a bill is sent directly to the STC WVC Treasurer from the Greenwood to pay for the 
   facilities and catering).
o. Working with the volunteers to get the Web site updated.
o. Arranging for the use of a laptop computer for the day of the workshop.
o. Reminding registrants of the workshop a few days prior to the workshop.
