Re: STC

[John Hedtke <john -at- hedtke -dot- com>]

You'll also get things like the chapter newsletter, Intercom, and 
access to the STC SIG of your choice (not TechWhirl, which is a thing 
until itself and not an STC construct), which can be very 
helpful.  (I can phone and give you info on which one you might like, 
if you wish.)  You get to vote, too, which can be fun.  Yes, there 
are elections that have come out to the point where a single vote mattered.

Even if you don't attend conferences or workshops now, you may in the 
future, and there is a break for members even at the local Puget 
Sound meetings, I believe.  And it's just generally cool: looks good 
on a resume to employers, that sorta thing.  I've gotten hundreds of 
thousands of dollars out of being a member through contacts, through 
information in newsletters, and the like.

Yours truly,
