June 2015

Winter's here, and so are we. In this season of cozy fires and slow-cooked food, we're looking for a new committee member - could this be you? We profile a government policy analyst who discovered the joy of technical communication, and cover a productivity-boosting article from Southern Communicator about keyboard shortcuts.
