The monthly chapter meetings, which typically feature one or
more guest speakers, provide an opportunity for a member of the chapter to
create a write-up for the presentation that the member could use as a
writing sample. It is the job of the PR Manager to 1) find a volunteer;
2) ensure the write-up is professionally edited; and 3) post the write-up
on the STC Silicon Valley chapter website. The following points are
recommended practices:
-
Make arrangements beforehand with a member or members
in the chapter to help copyedit the write-up.
-
Before the speaker's presentation, exchange business cards
with the speaker.
-
(optional) Ask the speaker for permission to record the
presentation using a voice recorder or camcorder.
-
Make arrangements to get a soft-copy of the speaker's
presentation.
-
Exchange business cards with the member who volunteered to
do a write-up for the presentation.
-
After the write-up has been copyedited, submit the write-up
to the chapter webmaster to post to the chapter website.
