Georgette Sante

Georgette Sante - Jury President (B)

After some years as a multilingual secretary, Georgette Sante became a teacher for the Belgian French Community (Official secondary teaching in South Belgium). As a member of the APSB (Teachers' Association for Office and Secretariat), she has taken part in the organization of championships for students; one of them was held in her school (Esneux in 1989).

Being interested in computers, she rapidly introduced her students to Wordprocessing (instead of only typewriting) rather than waiting for the official school programs to incorporate itc into the official programs. In 1990, with some other APSB-teachers, she organized the first contest of word processing.

In 1991, she joins the Intersteno Belgium team and takes part in the organization of the 39e Intersteno congress. In 1999, she represents Belgium at the Intersteno Central Committee in Vienna.

Since this period, according to the linguistic agreements for Belgium, she is the Belgian official delegate, alternatively with a Dutch-speaking delegate; however, during the years "without mandate", she takes part in the activities of the association, attends congresses and committee meetings.

According to the new structure of Intersteno Jury, she becomes, in September 2006, coordinator of the Professional Wordprocessing championship and in July 2007 was named Jury President at the Congress in Prague. Thanks to her successful work, she was again confirmed in this Chair by the Beijing, Paris and Ghent Councils.

孙惠民(中国)-教育委员会主席

Mr. Sun has dedicated himself to the stenography industry for decades and has established the largest stenography training school in China. Thousands of outstanding stenographers have graduated from the school that he established and many of them have won both national and international awards. Three such winners include Wang Lu, Wang Xiubo and Gao Siyu.

He has led the research and development of many stenographic teaching methods throughout the past decade. These include the "Production-line" and "Five Elements" teaching methods, which are well known throughout China. Not content to rest on his laurels,Mr. Sun successfully launched a stenographer standardization training scheme called the Tower Type Teaching Model in 2010. This solution has become the single unified standard among Chinese stenography training centers and has been approved by the authority of the stenography industry, Mr. Tang Yawei and Mr. Tang Keliang . Mr. Tang Keliang has required that all stenography training centers implement this solution. In order to develop more stenographers,

Mr. Sun tirelessly makes himself available to students and youth by giving free public lectures. Since 2003, Mr. Sun delivered more than 400 public lectures. Today his lectures have grown to average over a hundred attendees and overall more than 100 thousand people have learned about the magic of stenography from Mr. Sun's personal efforts.
