Scores

Give yourself 2 points for every a answer, 1 point for every b answer, and a fat 0 for every c answer.

If you scored between 10 and 12, you are well informed about the opportunities STC provides for education, networking, and knowledge sharing. You are doing a great job in making the most of your membership.

If you scored between 6 and 9, you are making an effort to keep informed, but definitely could benefit from a little more participation this month!

If you scored between 0 and 5, the STC police are on their way to arrest you right now. You are in need of some STC intervention! 

Missed Opportunities

Try to attend just one great STC event before summer begins—maybe a telephone seminar / Webinar, or the monthly meeting. Take it a step further and check out the list of available council positions for the 2005-2006 year. Volunteers are welcome and needed to help shape the Southwestern Ontario chapter STC .

Getting the most out of your membership is entirely in your hands. Come on out and join us!
