Recognizing Creative Ways Employers Use Technical Communicators: The Insight Award  

The Hoosier Chapter of STC created a brand new program for recognizing employers who use the skills of technical communicators in expansive ways. Entitled the 'Insight Award,' it is a new type of STC competition that recognizes companies rather than individual technical communicators or technical publications. The panelists of this presentation discuss how the award program was developed, the procedure and criteria used in the judging, problems and planned improvements in the process, publicity and results of the competition, and benefits of the award for STC members and organizations.
