# Special STC Election podcast: Call for Participants

![STC Elections](https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/idbwmedia.com/images/elections1.gif)We're doing a special STC election podcast next Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST, talking with the different candidates running for STC offices. If you're running for election, and you want to talk about yourself and your vision/plans for the STC, contact me at [(email address hidden)](https://idratherbewriting.com/2007/03/16/special-stc-election-podcast-call-for-participants/tomjoht@gmail.com). All you need is a landline phone.

I mentioned this elections topic at the close of my [last podcast.](https://idratherbewriting.com/2007/03/14/tech-writer-voices-podcast-is-technical-writing-boring-tech-writers-as-information-architects/) [Nicky Bleiel](http://www.nickybleiel.org/) has already contacted me.

I'm curious to see how many candidates are tapped into the blogosphere enough to find this post on their own. Actually, I'm not sure [any of the running leaders](http://www.stc.org/candidatesFAQ/index.asp) have blogs. This is a mistake. Blogs are the easiest way leaders can reach out to others, disseminate information, and build relationships. [Holly Harkness's President's blog](http://atl-stc-prez.livejournal.com/) for the Atlanta STC is one of the coolest blogs I've seen. It's been great reading the [news and notes from Paula Berger](http://www.stc-cdx.org/newsnotes/2007/02), but a blog might have been easier and more powerful.
