STC-MGL is pleased to introduce you to the newest chapter leaders.
The first to volunteer to run a book club meeting or share a new Zoom background, Mark stepped up to take on the role of Nominating Committee member. Look for an email from him next election season!
Name: Mark Lockwood
Position: Nominating Committee
Years in STC: 25
Years in Technical Communication:25
Current Position and Employer: Senior Revenue Management Analyst, Trinity Health
STC and related work experience: My career highlights include working on several large-scale online help and technical documentation sets for several software companies, as well as contributing to the development of a variety of corporate communication deliverables along the way. The projects I like to work on the most involve innovating to create new solutions for business challenges. My current role as an analyst/writer features many opportunities to work on such projects and explore new technologies.
My start in tech comm included participation in STC, as I attended chapter events while in college. I last served our chapter when it was still the STC/SM chapter. I held positions in the administrative council over four terms, including serving as the webmaster. I was the STC/SM chapter president from 2009-2010.
Why are you interested in this office position? I have always found that the greatest benefits of staying involved with STC come from meeting new people and engaging with members and chapter activities. I hope we can continue encouraging chapter members to stay involved and make contributing to the chapter a valued piece of their professional development.
What else would you like members to know about you? I live with my wife and two school-aged boys, along with a cat and a hamster. The cat likes me a lot more than the hamster. When I am not involved with family activities, I enjoy playing racquetball. If anyone is looking for a game, let me know.
