Re: IEEE Professional Communication Society

I'm not sure it would be an alternative, but it certainly wouldn't be out of the question to be a member of both.

"The specific
                    areas encompassed by the Society's field of
                    interest include all forms of communication related
                    to engineering       practice, including: (a)
                    electronic information (e.g. web sites, CD-ROMs,
                    interactive TV, online help), (b) technical
                    proposals, reports and       documentation (c)
                    printed publications and oral presentations, (d)
                    electronic publishing, (e) user interfaces, and (f)
                    usability evaluations       The Society's field of
                    interest also includes the research and
                    development of new techniques, the definition of
                    professional standards,       and the fostering of
                    continuing education related to these activities."
 


 Of course, if you're not working in an EE-related industry, it wouldn't make much sense to be in IEE PCS.

Does anyone on this list belong to the IEEE PCS? It this society suitable
for techwriters in the software industry? Is it a viable alternative to the
STC?

Thanks in advance,
