Subject:New TECHWR-L Poll - Minorities in TW Management From:Lisa M. Bronson <lisa -at- techwr-l -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Sun, 20 Feb 2005 22:10:44 -0600
Hi everyone,
This week's poll was suggested by a list member who previously believed
s/he was the only non-European tech pubs manager in the whole United
States, until s/he met another one here, on the TECHWR-L mailing list
(that person also thought s/he was the only one!). Here is
the question:
Considering the nation where you live, which of these describes you and
your writing position?
* Non-managing, non-minority, female
* Non-managing, non-minority, male
* Non-managing, minority, female
* Non-managing, minority, male
* Managing, non-minority, female
* Managing, non-minority, male
* Managing, minority, female
* Managing, minority, male
* Other/None of the above
As always, discussion of the poll is allowed on-list, so long as it is
appropriate, relates to technical writing, and stays within the posting
rules. This is a touchy subject, and I wouldn't post this poll if I
wasn't confident that y'all can handle discussing it fairly. If you
have a question about the appropriateness of a post, please send it to
me off-list, first.
One last thing--if you are a minority tech pubs manager and would like
me to pass your name and email address on to the person who suggested
this poll, please send it to me off-list.
