Discussion group for all community leaders

An open discussion on the possibility of creating a new membership category in STC. Many senior members in STC have volunteered a significant amount of work for the Society, have been members for over ten years but are not associate fellows, because of the 3% allowance. These loyal volunteers never get formally recognized at the Society level. This group discusses the possibility of a new membership class “between” senior member and associate fellow to narrow the recognition gap.

The Information Design and Architecture SIG provides members the opportunity to develop knowledge and learn collaboratively about optimal ways to present and structure information in print and online.

During Leadership Day at the STC 2011 Summit, the Community Affairs Committee held a panel discussion to address commonly asked questions from STC Communities. Whether or not you had a chance to participate in Leadership Day, we'd like to invite you to continue that discussion here. Bring your questions, bring your answers, and help make STC communities the best they can be.
