(Seems like this issue is verboten on another "list" that I used to be on, so I figured I'd start up a discussion here!) At any rate, looks like there are a...
Hi, Sue! Yes, I renewed, but damn if I know why, now. Some of my issues are with The Organization, but mainly I'm frustrated with our local membership, whose...
Forums? Oh yeah, just about forgot about those. I had my login set up on my work machine from my last job. Haven't got a clue what it was, and since I got laid...
I don't wanna talk you in or out of it, but I wanna know the why's if you do or don't. Me? I was thinking about it, since I'd thought that STC was showing...
Well, Sue, I'm one of those local leaders who have so poorly impressed. Our program meetings, offered for free online, include a mix of vendor-driven as well...
Hi, Sue! Hi, Folks! My sympathies and understanding to Sue Gallagher and Don White. There's a lot going on, so this may get a little garbled. In Sacramento,...
No, I'm not renewing. After more than 20 years or so in the STC, I just can't see any value to the organization. I DO see value in the local group (Vermont...
Why not refund the money to the members that put the money there? Why should the $10,000 go "back" to National? And no, I'm not renewing this year either. ...
I'm not sure you could work out the logistics of this, to refund to the members. I mean, some of the 10K had to come from 2007, but some likely came from 2006,...
Come on, Lou This is not the time to hold back your opinion. Could you please tell us what you really think? ... Sorry - too much work, not enough sleep - and...
I've still not renewed my membership. I am honestly trying to weigh the pros and cons. On the pro, I'd like to make things better. I don't have a lot of...
So I'm an exception here. I did renew, if only to take my swing at the plate. I was dragooned into being vice president of my local chapter this year, and am...
... Thank you, Lou. That is a pretty accurate, yet very concise, explanation. Bill Swallow says he has not yet renewed. I just say I have not renewed. I...
Hi Mike, The first thing you have to do is separate the US from the world. That, for the most part, was one of the problems I found with STC. I'm in Israel - I...
Hi Paula, Yes, I remember all of this, and I certainly don't disagree with anything you're saying here. I also don't want to be argumentative, but I do want to...
Not answering for Paula, but... I'm not currently a member. However, I've heard that: 1. Dues have increased, but benefits haven't. Why? Is this to support an...
Well, I am renewing. I like the STC. It is all I ever hoped it would be and should be. It has lived up to all my expectations and I have benefited greatly...
... Sue, this is the heart of my question too. FWIW: Here's the board listing (login not required): http://stc.org/about/board01.asp. -- Mike McCallister ...
Actually, I am plenty active outside of STC. I belong to several lists where I ask for help and also provide assistance to others (so yes, I do do the...
[Note: I am forwarding this message for Cindy Currie, STC Second Vice President and Community Advocacy Lead.] Hi Everyone, There's been quite a bit of...
Maybe Cindy could "reenergize" other chapters? For example, I just noticed that locally I can attend an infomercial on Madcap or learn how to fix my resume,...
Hi, Folks! I marvel at the delusion that "exiting leaders" were "intent on bringing the chapter down." Can you believe this slug level of thinking? Why would a...
... I don't say it easily. Over four years and 3,000 volunteer hours I met a lot of nice folks, and was privileged to serve them. Life is short. We must...
Hi Barry, This may not help - but I got the same thing after I chose to leave STC - and to this day, some people still believe my sole interest is in somehow ...
Hi Mike, Mark Clifford was one of the people who called me. We talked on the phone for a long time. He was supportive, honest, open. He came closest to ...
In Char's defense (not that she should need one), she was merely forwarding an email from Cindy. The way I read it, those were Cindy's (and the STCs) words,...
... <snip> ... Before you let loose with that kind of vitriol, take the time to read the message. Char simply forwarded it, she didn't author it. If you are...
