STC Chicago cannot survive without the people who donate their time and talents to helping the chapter run. So every
spring, we celebrate special volunteers who have exceeded expectations during the previous calendar year by honoring them with the following awards.
Distinguished Chapter Service Award
The Distinguished Chapter Service Award (DCSA) is an honor at the international level of STC that recognizes an individual’s exemplary effort, energy, and dedication to their community and its activities. This is the highest level of recognition that a member can receive for service to their community. Award winners retain this lifetime achievement award for the community they serve. For additional information about nominations for this award, see the STC website.
President’s Award
The STC Chicago President’s Award was established in 1993 to recognize significant volunteer contributions of chapter members.
Volunteer of the Year Award
Established in 2010, the Volunteer of the Year Award was created to acknowledge ongoing dedication to the chapter through volunteer efforts and commitment to the technical communication profession.
Above and Beyond Award
STC Chicago established the Above and Beyond Award in 2012 to recognize an individual that accepts the responsibilities for a unique and challenging chapter event or experience. In the role, the individual contributes an extraordinary effort and substantial
personal time to ensure the successful completion of the experience.
