Writing it right topic at Rocklin breakfast
Linda Vanderwold is an author, speaker, writing coach, wife, mother and the creator of the VanWrite method, the first writing method to be integrated with easy-to-use software and e-learning opportunities.She studied thousands of business documents to determine why some communicate successfully and others do not."Business leaders understand that poorly presented proposals cost them thousands, if not millions, of dollars in lost business," Vanderwold said. "Effective communication improves the chance of winning new business and reduces costly re-write time."Vanderwold will be the guest speaker at the Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce's February breakfast on Thursday, Feb. 8 at the Whitney Oaks Country Club, 2305 Clubhouse Dr. in Rocklin. The breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. .

Originally from Ohio, Lynch came to this area to take a university teaching job, but soured on academia and one day 20 years ago showed up to apply for a job at Social and Scientific, then in Bethesda. The young company needed someone to manage its proposal section and pursue federal contracts. ‘‘It was a great leap of faith," said Lynch, 55. ‘‘But I had done technical writing and actually it turned out to be a pretty good fit." He learned the management and business development end of the business so well he eventually rose through the executive ranks. In the fall, he was picked to succeed the much-respected Mary Frances leMat as the new president and CEO of an employee-owned company with annual revenues of more than $115 million. The Business Gazette talked to Lynch recently about his company’s mission and his transition from academia to the boardroom.
