TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>John, this is in response to your post today in TECHWR-L.
>I follow the list as a spectator, not as a participant;
>to be honest, I don't know how to post to it.
>You're welcome to post this to the list if you choose,
>and to use my name. I'm a member of the STC board of
>directors (Director-Sponsor for Region 2).
>STC is a nonprofit, and its officers serve without compen-
>sation. The only paid employees are the Executive Director
>and his staff, which currently number 9 people in all. The
>small size of the staff is, I think, noteworthy when you
>consider that the Society has over 15,000 members.
I also passed along the address for the list and recommended he get in
touch with Eric, our able administrator, to iron out any posting problems
he might have.
Another respondent to my post recommended last December's issue of InterCom
which has a description of the non-profit status of the STC, as well as the
1991-92 annual report. Readup and start flinging more comments!
Does anyone know offhand whether that issue addresses Conference costs?
