Society for Technical Communication—Israel Chapter

I-Contact was published as material became available by the Israel chapter of the STC, and is sent to all chapter members as a benefit of STC membership. I-Contact presented feature articles, program and events calendar, member and company profiles, tips and tricks of our trade, and important contact information. Unless otherwise noted, I-Contact articles may be reprinted if credit is given and a copy is sent to the editor.

In the 2002-2003 STC Newsletter Competition, our chapter was given the Award of Merit for I-Contact; the editor of I-contact at that time was Leah Guren. Leah was presented this award at the 2004 STC Israel Convention.

Unfortunately, since then, we no longer have an editor for the newsletter. If you are interested in volunteering for this important work in STC, please contact us. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy the back-issues provided here. I-Contact articles are provided in PDF format.
