APEX Award of Excellence
Have you heard? Byline, our chapter newsletter, recently received an APEX Award of Excellence. This is the sixth time in recent history that our chapter's publication has been recognized in this way. Kudos to Editor Tom Lunde and all those who have submitted articles for publication.
The summer issue of Byline is available online. You can find it -- and other, archived newsletters
-- here. Feel free to share Byline with friends, coworkers, and colleagues in the field of technical communication. Telling others about our newsletter is great way to share what's new in the field of technical communication in the Chicago metropolitan area. |
