The moist mid-Atlantic summer is upon us, and I find that rainy days are perfect for learning something new and improving my skill sets, just as Holly Fredericksen Dewitt suggests in her article about staying flexible in a changing and global world.

The STC Summit this year was a great opportunity for learning what's new and upcoming in our industry. Attending is an awesome experience, but have you ever wondered what it's like to attend as a speaker? Jamie Gillenwater gives us a behind-the-scenes look.

This quarter marks the end of an era for the Carolina Chapter. We say farewell to Andrea Wenger and welcome incoming President Sheila Loring, who recaps Career Day 2013 with advice for advancing your career.

A technical communicator's career is not always a straight and narrow path, as incoming Secretary Robert Perry shows us in journey into technical communication.

This summer, I'm committing to learning new skills and helping those in our chapter do the same. Won't you join me? If you have knowledge you wish to share, consider submitting an article or leading a chapter meeting.
