September is "Member Recruitment Month." Most people find out about STC through word of mouth. That’s why we’re asking our members to help with our membership drive, which is in full swing. To continue to grow and offer exciting programs, we need new members! They are the “spark” that brings new ideas to our chapter and ensures continuity and vitality in the coming years. Now is a good time to review why you became a member of STC and why you would recommend that someone else join. Do your part – tell a nonmember about STC and all the great membership benefits including:

• Networking opportunities
• Unrestricted access to STC's Web site and SWO-STC’s members-only listserve
• Reduced rates to attend program meetings, seminars, and the international conference
• Award-winning publications that keep you up-to-date on current trends, tools, and practices vital to the industry
• AND MUCH MORE...

So why not introduce SWO-STC to your colleagues and co-workers? Let them know what you get from your membership and ask them to attend a meeting or two with you. For more information about membership, contact Karen Stille, SWO-STC membership lead, at membership@stc-swo.org, or go to www.stc.org/benefits.asp to find out more about membership benefits.
