“Hear ye! Hear ye!” Okay, I’m not the town crier, but I do want to announce that we have reduced the price of the 2016 Gold Value Package membership from $425 to only $395. Many moons ago, I remember when the Gold price was $395 and hearing a lot of rumbling when it increased. Rumble no more! Renew or join STC today and receive the same gold benefits at the reduced price.
STC, or course, is the premier organization in the technical communication field. Seminars, publications, presentations are all available to enhance your knowledge in the field. Also, chapter meetings and annual Summits provide wonderful networking opportunities. Technical communication competitions provide the opportunity to have your work evaluated and to receive writing awards. The contacts you meet at STC events can give you a better feel for solving workplace problems and understanding issues. Nearly every day STC members send group emails posing questions on various STC networks, asking for advice or information about tools, contracts, ethical questions, job issues, etc.
Have you downloaded your free copy of STC’s Salary Database? This is a helpful tool that can be used to conduct more powerful job searches, make a strong case for a raise, or prepare department payroll budgets.
STC Chapters and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are active in meetings, publications, conferences, and building technical communication communities. Adding a Chapter or SIG to your membership can allow you to expand your knowledge and your network.

I was recently chatting with a friend and peer who has been a member of STC for over 25 years. She told me that she seriously questioned renewing her membership this year. That she was really unsure what value STC offers her or what value she brings STC. You would think that she is the perfect composite of an STC member – She’s successful, intelligent, and accomplished; operating as her own business for nearly 3 decades.
Every time you recruit a new member, you strengthen STC.
