The value of joining and participating as a member
with an organization like STC comes from a personal commitment
to continued learning, professionalism, and producing high-quality
work. STC provides numerous benefits with membership—publications,
networking, job searching, education, and professional image.
The same is true for membership in the STC/SM chapter: making
local connections, obtaining relevant professional experience
outside the workplace, benefiting from chapter-level incentive
programs and services, and being part of a community of
communicators.
The society is a perfect
forum for assessing skills, career goals, and specific interests,
and then selecting professional development activities from
a wide array of options within STC to match those specific
needs. Whether you participate at the chapter-level, or
use society-level services, the best way to make the most
of an STC membership is to get involved, treating yourself
to new experiences and challenging yourself with new ideas.
The following links, the
first two of which point to the STC website, highlight many
of the initiatives STC is taking to promote the technical
communication professional, and benefits of membership.
