Honorary Ranks
In addition to membership grades (general, senior member, and student member), STC bestows three elective, honorary ranks: associate fellow, fellow, and honorary fellow.
Fellows
The rank of fellow is conferred only upon associate fellows who have attained such eminence in the field of technical communication that the board, by a two-thirds vote of all members, deems them worthy of being singled out as one of the select few who have distinguished the Society and the profession. Associate fellows may not apply directly to the Board for the rank of fellow; they must be nominated by a committee of fellows.
Associate Fellows
The rank of associate fellow is conferred only upon a senior member who has attained distinction in the field of technical communication. Senior members may not apply for the rank of associate fellow; they must be nominated by a committee composed of fellows and associate fellows.
]Honorary Fellow
The rank of honorary fellow is conferred upon a person who is not a member of the Society but who (1) has achieved eminence in the field of technical communication or (2) has performed a significant service for the Society.
