Associate Newsletter Editor 
The Phoenix Chapter's award-winning newsletter, Rough Draft, is seeking someone to help (on an ongoing basis) with developing leads and ideas for newsletter articles on technical communication topics, researching material for articles, and recruiting authors for newsletter articles. If you'd also like to try your hand at writing your own articles, so much the better! This is a great opportunity to join our team and gain some resume-worthy experience.

Education Committee Members  
Assist the Education Committee Manager in planning and conducting educational programs and seminars. The chapter typically provides these Saturday workshops at a reasonable or inexpensive fee for STC members. (We attempt to break even or make a small profit on each workshop.) Specific duties may include investigating topics and workshop leaders, finding a location, promoting the workshop via Rough Draft articles and mailings to newspapers, making arrangements for food or catering, and/or other planning and implementation activities assigned by the Education Manager.

Hospitality Committee Members
Meet and greet members and guests at monthly meetings and other events. Act as “host” for guests or new members by sitting with them at events, introducing them to other people, etc.  (Acting as a “conversation catalyst”!) Staff the registration table. Create name tags for events. This requires little to no time commitment outside of the monthly meeting times.

Membership Committee Members 
Assist the chapter Membership Manager in maintaining a database of current and prospective members. Create and mail information packets to prospective members. Contact prospective and non-returning members for follow-ups. Assist with corporate outreach efforts. Perform other duties as assigned by the Membership Manager.

Newsletter Editors or Contributors 
Our award-winning newsletter needs You! We are always seeking technical communicators who are willing to write articles for the Phoenix Chapter's Rough Draft newsletter. Articles can be serious, funny, technical, or personal, but must be related to technical communication. If you have items that may be of interest to other members, this is your opportunity to gain exposure and become a published author!

Volunteer Committee Member 
Help identify new volunteer opportunities and communicate them to members. Assist in collecting volunteer data (who, what, when, etc.) and input into database. Time commitment unknown but could vary from 2 hours per month and up.
