Leadership Day: Holly Harkness, Al Hood, and Howard Speck — Atlanta Chapter
Listen here:
I've been following Holly's blog for the past year, so it was great to finally meet her. In this short interview, Holly (outgoing Atlanta president), Al (incoming president), and Howard (newsletter guru) talk about retention strategies for members. They plan to interview ex-chapter members about why they didn't renew. They also talk about non-traditional meetings their chapter is having, such as software Saturdays and happy-hour meetings.

About Tom Johnson
I'm an API technical writer based in the Seattle area. On this blog, I write about topics related to technical writing and communication — such as software documentation, API documentation, AI, information architecture, content strategy, writing processes, agent skills, tech comm careers, and more. Check out my AI courses for more on the latest in AI and tech comm. If you're looking for info about documenting APIs, see my API documentation course.
If you're a technical writer and want to keep on top of the latest trends in tech comm, be sure to subscribe to email updates below. You can also learn more about me or contact me.
Finally, I want to note a couple of things. I usually write the first drafts of my posts myself and then use AI to improve accuracy, clarity, and detail in places, so my writing is a mix of human and AI. (Hopefully that's not too off-putting.) Also, the opinions I express on my blog are my own perspectives, not those of my employer.
