If I recall correctly, this has been an issue in past elections. Certain candidates are "more vocal" and therefore their information is posted more widely (not...
Thank you, Ann! I suspected that what you've said was true, but had no way to prove it. Your report, from the field, just corroborates my point... I don't...
... Fair enough. Yes, my definition of voting is an act of formally voicing an informed opinion. You can formulate an informed opinion and voice it without...
Yes, it was extremely low for Israel. Our typical turnout is in the high 70s (78/79...whatever). Why are there typically low turnouts? Because people often...
I certainly don't know. I was going along with the many comments about low voter turnout in general and in the STC elections specifically. It would be ...
... So interesting how you can take a concept and twist it into some morbid vision of horror. ;-) Yes, members provide the Society with cash. MD: And,...
So the sense of your remark is more like: ...it WOULD BE truly sad IF IT TURNS OUT THAT they didn't take the option to cast their votes and make their opinions...
HI Guy, I'm not actually the person who raised the issue of low voter turnout. The sense of my remark is simply in response to someone else referring to the ...

For the past three years I have offered our membership ways they can use existing online services like Expedia and Orbitz to lower the cost of attending the...
The conference has always offered several alternative hotels in the past, but this year there are only two choices. Perhaps what happened last year in Seattle...
Actually, one of the few times anyone was impressed by an STC certificate was when they saw that I was a judge in the competitions. I self-imposed modesty by...
With his experience in running conferences, I'm certain that Joe Welinske can explain the STC's interest in specifying conference hotels, and in filling the ...
Actually, I've been there done that. When you negotiate a room rate, you also negotiate to fill x number of rooms. If you don't, then you (the conference...
Hi Sue, I think you might be underestimating the differences in room rates. I've only been to one other STC conference - in Orlando. My room rate was USD$80...
Hi Coliin, I've heard from others that the room rates in various places was a bit higher than I'd stated. I think it comes back down to negotiations. I think ...
Actually, Las Vegas has a 98% occupancy rate on a normal weekend (weekends being defined at Friday thru Monday). During the week (Tues, Wed, Thurs), it's lower...
