TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Nancy, that is a beautiful story about the benefits of Toastmasters
training.
With your permission, I'd like to forward it to Susan Niven, DTM PID,
for possible inclusion in her Explore the Possibilities newsletter,
which she sends to Toastmasters members on a monthly basis. I could
see it in the Toastmasters Success Stories section.
Susan is a Past International Director who is currently campaigning
for the office of 3rd Vice President.
