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.
Our Professional Writing faculty are considering the merits of
establishing an advisory board and we'd like to arm ourselves
with as much info as possible from those who've done the same.
If you have experience setting up, serving on, or dealing with
an advisory board, I'd appreciate hearing your insights -- both
from academe and from industry.
Please include references to any literature out there on the
topic that you feel would be helpful. You may post to me
privately if you wish. Thanks for any help you can offer.
