Frankly, Sarah, I don't care what other organizations do.STC doesn't follow the others in many ways. For one, I know that IEEE cuts its dues in half for those...
Dues is dues. One rate fits all. Unless the STC plans to also move their print production and so forth to areas that cost less to compensate, I see a loss...
When I first head that STC had a "localized dues" initiative, I thought it might be something to allow local chapters to charge minimal dues on top of the...
I've read about this initiative on this list and others, and I've read Suzanne's letter at stc.org <http://stc.org>, and I remain unconvinced that this is a...

I don't favor localized dues. It attempts to solve a problem that doesn't exist. As of July, 2005, STC reports that "there are 140 chapters in STC (29 student...
