Renew Your 2003 Membership Now!

By Kathee Kuvinka

Remember to renew your STC membership by February 28, 2003, to avoid paying the $15 application fee. Membership includes more benefits than ever, including free access to the STC members-only jobs database and the Willamette Valley Chapter jobs newsletter, and free admission to WVC Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings.

As an STC member, you also receive subscriptions to Technical Communication, STC's quarterly journal and Intercom, STC's monthly magazine. Share your expertise with technical communicators worldwide through these publications, and the society's dozen or so SIGs and professional-level competitions. STC also sponsors student competitions and provides annual scholarships to promote the excellence of tomorrow's technical communicators.

At the local level, membership provides numerous professional networking opportunities, reduced rates on chapter-sponsored workshops and classes, resume-enhancing volunteer positions and mentoring program, the excellent Willamette Galley e-newsletter, and so much more!

In addition to mailing your renewal form, you can renew online at www.stc.org/renew.asp.  A receipt and membership card will be mailed to you after your payment is received.
