How do you feel about STC’s transformation initiative? If
the transformation initiative is news to you go to www.stc.org/transformation
for all of the details. If it’s not news to you, have you
thought about what your STC membership provides you? Even more specifically,
have you thought about what your association with the Southwestern
Ohio (SWO-STC) chapter provides you?
Why all the
questions? Believe it or not, membership renewal is right around
the corner. And, as part of the transformation initiative, you can
now decide if you want to continue your affiliation with the Southwestern
Ohio chapter.
SWO-STC is fortunate
to have hard working and dedicated volunteers who help the chapter
provide services such as relevant programs, an award-winning newsletter
and a frequently updated web site, free and inexpensive meetings,
additional networking opportunities, and an annual raffle for registration
to the STC annual conference.
How do we provide
these chapter services? It comes down to one thing – your
membership in SWO-STC. The number of chapter members directly affects
the subsidy we receive from STC. This subsidy, which all chapters
receive, is what allows us to offer the services and programs you
have come to expect.
You may not
realize it but SWO-STC rarely profits from chapter events and that’s
fine with us. We’re not a business – we are a group
of volunteers who work hard to provide you with the most value for
your membership dollars. We’re concerned about the unknown
but excited about the future. As STC changes, so will SWO-STC. Now
is the time to show your support and renew your membership in both
STC and the Southwestern Ohio chapter.
Feel free to
contact myself or any member of the executive council to share your
ideas and suggestions about the chapter.
