We open the 2016 membership season with some exciting news. Our Gold Value Package membership, once priced at $425, has been reduced to $395! Renew your membership or join today and enjoy benefits that build your professional career and help you stay ahead of your coworkers.
For new members considering the 2016 Gold Value Package, now is a great time to join STC because you’ll get the next couple of months of 2015 for free. This will give you plenty of time to take advantage of your Gold exclusive benefits, including:
- Five live or recorded webinars
- Free chapter membership
- 20% off all online courses
- Early Bird registration pricing for STC’s annual conference in Anaheim, CA, 15-18 May, any time during the year
- Ten free print issues of Intercom magazine
- All Classic benefits
Here’s something new you may not know is coming to STC members this fall! We are re-launching our Certified Professional Technical Communicator (CPTC) program. This program will offer a three-tiered professional certification: Foundation, Practitioner, and Expert. STC members will receive a $245 savings when registering for the CPTC exam. And the Gold Value Package will be even more valuable for those members collecting CEU credits for their CPTC certification.
Year after year, the Gold membership category has extremely high join and renewal rates. This means that STC members feel it provides great value for the cost. But, don’t forget, that all membership categories continue to receive the same Classic benefits, such as—online subscriptions to the award-winning Intercom magazine and Technical Communication journal; a personalized education report card; access to the Salary Database; our library of over 140 free, on-demand seminars; discounts from Liberty Mutual, MadCap, Office Max, Lenovo, UPS, and others with our Affinity Program; member-only pricing on STC webinars, online courses, recorded sessions, and the annual Summit; a 14-day advance viewing on all jobs posted to the STC Job Bank; and networking opportunities across the globe.
I invite you to go for the Gold in 2016! Renew your STC membership or join today and be a part of your Society. Visit www.stc.org/membership for more information or email membership@stc.org with any questions. We look forward to a successful 2016!
