*A Note About Bios

Please help SMTD avoid unnecessarily duplicated work by communicating exactly what to edit in your bio in some fashion, especially if your bio is longer than 3 paragraphs / 300 words. A shared Google document is the recommended way to request limited updates to longer bios, because using “suggesting edits” mode can help you easily mark every change. (And/or please make [email protected] an Editor on your Google doc bio in the share settings, so we can view your history of changes.) Why?

SMTD Marketing team should update, but please review:

  • Title changes/ promotions
  • Phone and office numbers
  • Official “On Leave” dates
  • Updated On: date at the bottom
