Jim, I am surprised by your posting, which appears to suggest that Board Director participation should perhaps be limited to those living in the USA. The STC...
Nick, you make a perfectly good point. US members can often find air fares to the UK that are less expensive than those for internal destinations. I live on...
Hi everyone, I find myself unable to decide and thought, if you don't mind, I'd post the question here. I have been a member of STC for about 10 years. During...
You're not alone, Paula. I ran seriously out of money, after too many months of living on savings, so I've not yet renewed my membership. I, too, wondered just...
Hello Paula Even though I live in the US, I faced the same dilemna for many years of my membership. I was not happy with my local chapter, never attended...
If You Leave STC You have a relationship with STC, that of a member of a mostly volunteer organization. If you choose to leave that relationship, my advice is...

Hi, I want to thank everyone for their detailed responses. I just want to clarify one thing. I was in many ways more than "just" a volunteer in Israel. I ran...
And with this in mind...WHY should anyone living outside the US bother joining STC? For that matter, why doesn't the US-based office ever considering doing the...
... The STC used to belong to INTECOM, which is an international umbrella group for technical communication organizations. I see at www.intecom.org that there...
Thanks, Mark. I'm going to look into that organization and see if they would offer Israeli technical writers more than STC. Perhaps the loss of its ...
... Frankly, I'd be surprised. The erstwhile local organization of Israeli technical writers, ETTY, was affiliated with INTECOM and got rather little out of...
... "international members need to join together and send a stronger message to STC by not renewing at the time, letting STC become an American organization" ...
I was considering that. Only one person who spoke had any real connection with STC outside of Israel. One of the "star" presenters was an STC member, maybe...
Hello Ian I think you are mistaken when it comes to STC's committment to its global members. Yes, currently only about 7 percent of STC's membership is from ...

I think that membership in the STC is more valuable to younger members. People like me, Paula, Sue and John (and others but these leap to my coffee deprived...

Ok - I'm going to go out on a very long limb here. Just who is this elusive, non-responsive "STC"? Is it the Board of Directors? Hmm - at last count there are...
Hi Bob, Unfortunately, your very well-stated argument proves my point. STC is spread too thin and therefore, to "waste" its investment (not that I see much of ...
Hi Paula It sounds like you've made your decision to not renew, and believe it or not, the loss to STC will feel more acute this year than in the past. You are...
Paula, "I volunteered HUNDREDS of hours and spent my personal money and precious family time for STC on MANY occasions" I KNOW how you feel. I've driven the...
