About the Event

There's nothing like the voice of experience, so if you write policies, procedures, or processes, you'll want to hear what Diana Combs has to say. Come get practical guidance from an experienced writer who knows the kind of strict government standards we live by, along with legal land-mines to avoid. You'll want to apply her lessons immediately to improve your work product and your peace of mind.


About the Speaker

Diana Combs has a background in government policies and procedures. Working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Coast Guard, she's learned about government writing requirements; how they handle processes, procedures, and policies; and the legal limitations that are placed around how the government does these things.
