Karen Farrell, president and webmaster of Bay Area Baseball Association (BABA), won a 2008 – 2009 International Online Communication Competition (IOCC) Award of Merit from the Society for Technical Communication (STC) for the Bay Area Baseball Association website.
The international competitions are extremely competitive, with generally less than 20 contestants in the IOCC winning awards out of 100s of entries. STC has not yet published the number of awards given in this year's IOCC.
Karen also won an Award of Excellence in the Society for Technical Communication Houston Chapter Online Communications Competition for the Bay Area Baseball Association website. It was the only honor bestowed to any entry in the Promotional category in the local Online Communications Competition.
STC grades heavily on the usability of entries and looks at works not only for their technical merit but also for how well they perform their intended purpose. These awards are proof that BABA is on the bleeding edge of both technology and customer service. |
