Karen Rempel published in March issue of Intercom

We are excited to let you know that an article about Karen Rempel’s brainchild, the Information Interview Service or IIS, appears in the March issue of Intercom. In it she describes the impetus and a process for implementing the service. It’s become a stalwart replacement to a stagnant mentoring program.

The IIS is a simple yet brilliant idea—pair aspiring writers with seasoned ones. The only surprise was its success—by month three the Information Interview Service topped the number of interviews the chapter projected for the year.

It seemed natural for the revitalized chapter to tell the whole STC organization about the IIS. Naturally, we applied for a Pacesetter award. The Information Interview Service meets the criteria:

• A Community implemented an innovative activity
• The activity furthers the goals of the Society or the Community
• The activity can be replicated by other Communities

Winners will be announced at the Honors Banquet at the STC Summit. Fingers crossed.
