Introduction

Five of our Suncoast members led small-group roundtables focused on their particular specialties at our September student meeting. Martha Collins, Mark Lewis, Lynette Pittman, Dina Stenz, and Pam Tremé began by standing up and introducing their specialty, and then students and members made their way to the tables of the speakers of their choice. Presenters kept their sessions short so that attendees could rotate to one other table.

This meeting write-up is a collaborative endeavor, made up of Joanna Castner's summaries of some of the presenter's handouts and presentations, material taken directly from speaker handouts, and some speaker summaries of their own presentations, as well.

Speakers and topics included:

• Processes and Procedures with Martha Collins
• Technical Communication for Medical Devices with Lynette Pittman
• Online Help with Pam Tremé
• Technical Communicator Resources for Financial/Software Writing with Mark Lewis
• Freelancing: Contracting and Consulting with Dina Stenz
