Interview: Writing Solutions for Company Officers

COLS Podcast II: Writing Solutions for Company Officers



Writing tasks can challenge many officers who have weak writing skills, yet the high visibility of their documents makes it a crucial skill. Guided by NFPA 1021’s multiple calls for solid writing skills, Mary Sovick’s session, “Writing Solutions for Company Officers,” provides instruction in much-needed business writing skills. It provides a fast-moving, highly-relevant review of commonly misused or misunderstood grammar, sentence structure and spelling guidelines. The course provides guidance on how to achieve a readable style.
