2020-21 Q2 (Oct-Dec 2020) Report Highlights

General comments on writing:

Don’t use first-person voice. No “We,” “I,” “us,” etc. Third person only for this professional report.
Your audience is unfamiliar with ISD. Make sure you write it like you’re explaining to a stationary engineer on her first day. The highlights section should be wholly decipherable and clear.
For all writing intended for an audience outside of IT, adhere to the Regional San and SASD Writing Style Guide
