program committee
One of the most vital components of the Wisconsin chapter is our monthly meetings. Chapter meetings are a great way to get to know others in technical communication or related fields and to broaden your knowledge, while at the same time enjoying a pleasant meal in comfortable surroundings.

We meet every month from September through June, on either the second Tuesday or second Wednesday of each month. This year our meetings will alternate between the MSOE Alumni Partnership Center in downtown Milwaukee and Klemmer's Banquet Center in West Allis. Meetings start at 5:30 p.m. with networking, dinner is at 6:00 p.m., and the evening's program runs from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

Over the past several years, the September meeting has taken the form of a river cruise, which provides an opportunity to meet fellow members and board members for the new term, and for the board to learn of the interests of chapter members, all in the context of a pleasant cruise along the Milwaukee River. The June meeting often serves as a celebration of the previous term, with awards and gifts, and as a brainstorming session for program ideas for the upcoming year. The rest of the meetings feature invited speakers or panels discussing topics of relevance to our chapter members.

The meeting locations for the remainder of the 2007-2008 season are as follows:
