Looking for New Banner Images of DC & Baltimore areas

Cynthia A Lockley on 8 Dec 20158 Dec 2015

We’d like to refresh the rotating header banner on the website with some fresh images of the Washington, DC and Baltimore metropolitan areas. We have several donated by chapter members and would like more. We’d like horizontal images of statues, buildings, bridges, and other tourist spots for the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland: the Baltimore metropolitan area, Eastern Shore, and the Chesapeake Bay.

Specifications:
300 to 600 ppi
Horizontal / landscape
Size at least 1140×420 px (will be resized to 1000×198 px—whitespace width will be added if necessary so the image doesn’t look squashed or stretched when resized)

For the attribution:
Identify the location, monument, statue, etc.
Name of photographer
Any recognizable faces must give their permission to be shown on the website.

Please look through your photos or those from your visitors to this area to find images. Or gather a friend or more to go out on a nice day and take some new ones.

This is an example from the American Medical Writers Association, Mid-Atlantic Chapter:

Send your photos to Events News.

Thanks!

WDCB Jobs Board Restructuring

Cynthia A Lockley on 15 Jun 201527 Mar 2016

The WDCB Jobs Board is being restructured. Job feed listings from a variety of sources will be shown on the home page at https://jobs.stcwdc.org. Job seekers will have a greater opportunity to find a job using the listings there or by using the job listings on the STC Job Bank Listings. Our job board's free postings had dwindled down to one announcement a month, which is not enough to be useful to job seekers.

There will no more job announcement postings on the WDCB site. Employers and recruiters are encouraged to use the STC Job Bank to take advantage of the experience and skills gained by hiring STC members. See the STC Job Bank Employers Post a Job and the STC Jobs Bank Products and Pricing pages for more information.

Anyone who has a resume in the WDCB Resume Bank or wants to post their resume online, may post their resume with the STC Job Bank Job Seeker Resumes.
