On August 28, 2009 in Palo Alto at the Mandarin Gourmet the STC Silicon Valley held its Summer Schmooze. It was certainly a departure from Arthur’s and even India Gate. There was much networking and discussions about opportunities with more job postings on the chapter website all the time.

Bob Kauten gave me a certificate of recognition signed by our new president Pat Harvey. It said “In grateful appreciation of your service as President, The Silicon Valley STC Administrative Council thanks you on behalf of the entire chapter membership and the technical community at large.”

Of all the the awards from all the organizations I have received over the years, this means a lot. Every time someone gets a job through STC, I know I have been a part of something that helps thousands of people. Join STC and volunteer. Pay it forward or get it backward. :-)
