... Not to rain on anyone's parade, however, but... <grin> You posted your request on 11/22. As of 1/10, it was "still in the works." No worries -- after my...
I am late to this parade. Some observations -- NO need for responses. 1) Why is it $150 + $35 shipping to be a member in Israel but only $80 in the rest of the...
Don't feel too bad, Paula. I got mine at the end of the day yesterday as well (boondocks, Arizona?). I had a very similar reaction as you had. Since I paid my...
Nice summary, Sean. I'm including Suzanna and Paula on this so they can begin to address these issues directly before we lose too many more good members. My...
... Okay, here's an off the wall thought. What if we based the tiered membership dues on our own salary survey? We could easily use the US average as the ...
... That would tempt members to understate their salaries, wouldn't it? Anyway, there seems to be some disagreement regarding what tiering should be about. Is...
... I'm in Boston, and I haven't received anything yet ;-) First Israel has more snow than I do (for an afternoon, at least), and now it turns out they get...
... You know, that's just crazy enough to work! And, I bet it'd prevent people from dirtying the data by lying as much. ;-) -- Bill Swallow HATT List Owner ...
I just got off the phone with the office. Two phone calls later, I'm a member (yeah), but I got dumped out of my chapter and two of my SIGs (boo), but now I'm...
... I have first-hand evidence (confessions) that salary data is already being overstated by some members because they feel if they report more for their area,...
... Me neither. The mail's no faster to Albany NY, apparently. ;-) ... Not yet, anyway. when's the voting taking place? I haven't heard too much on this....
... I have my 2006 membership card, and have had it for some time now. My guess is that they reprint them on demand as you renew. -- Bill Swallow HATT List...
Hmmm. I guess not printing my card was part of the mess-up. I'll have to try to confuse them earlier next year. Part of the problem may be the renewing of a...
Clicking the big "ELECTIONS 2006" button on http://stc.org, takes you to http://stc.org/candidatesFAQ/index.asp where the first sentence is: Voting in STC’s...
Guys As March 1 has come and gone and the renewal deadline has now past, could we not leave this subject (that hasn't exactly brought out the better in some of...
Several people have reported missing cards and mucked up memberships in SIGs etc. fwiw, I've had no problems recently, and when I did have a small problem a...
Frank, Just because the renewal deadline has passed doesn't mean this is no longer an issue that should be addressed. If you don't care to participate, please...
... THAT will fix the root problem, won't it? I think we continue discussing it. John Posada Senior Technical Writer "So long and thanks for all the fish."...
... There is no deadline. Now begins the period when chapters contact lapsed members and remind or cajole them to renew. It lasts indefinitely. Still, I'm...
Hi, Geoff :-) ... Just an FYI...some folks have had different experiences. However, the staff has gone through a lot the last couple of months (new ED and I'm ...
The old wound is opening. ;-) ... Nice. My e-mails went unanswered until I started posting to public lists about the problems with my membership. Of course I...

Geoff, I'm not bashing the office staff. I've worked with them for many years and know they work hard. And you can assume that this time of year is incredibly...
How does the STC BoD communicate with the general membership? After the fact. The January STC BoD meeting has come and gone. Did any of you know what they...
Just as an FYI... renewal is STILL an option, year round. It's still called renewal, even if you let your membership lapse (for example, I've been lapsed for a...
... Where are the January 2006 minutes? They're not listed on http://www.stc.org/about/chapterResources01.asp where the web site indicates they should be. ... ...
Very true. I renewed after a 3 year lapse. But I think the larger point is that the topic of member retention is an important one and we should continue this...
