Orlando Chapter Requests Nominations for its
Third Annual Gloria Jaffe Outstanding Technical Communicator Award

The Orlando Chapter of STC is pleased to request nominations for the 2005 Jaffe Award, which will be presented next January to Central Florida's outstanding technical communicator and the organization that benefits from their professionalism.

Changes in this year's contest format encourage entries whether you are an in-house employee, contractor, or free-lance professional. You may even nominate yourself or another technical communicator who is deserving of this award.

We will select an individual award winner and two runners-up based on full-time pursuit of technical communication responsibilities; attainment of highly significant business objectives; and unique contributions during product development, product marketing, product support, instruction, or through the achievement of high user satisfaction. Nominations are due by November 8, 2004.

Last year's award was won by Kelli Pharo, an employee of PBS&J in Orlando.

The Jaffe Award is named for Orlando Chapter founder and retired University of Central Florida Technical Communication professor Gloria Jaffe. Her leadership is reflected in the enduring communication values prized by the Orlando Chapter and in the professionalism of UCF graduates who had the opportunity to study with her.

If you are an accomplished member of the technical communication profession, or know someone who should be considered, please fill out and submit the nomination brochure. Or feel free to pass this opportunity along within your organization or to your clients.

Are you doing outstanding work in technical communication? Let us know by November 8th!
