Membership News

by Leanne Rollins, Membership Manager

I missed the last STC meeting, which was disappointing because I was really looking forward to seeing Sherry McMenemy in card-sorting action. Instead, I was home sick feeling sorry for myself. I hate to miss a meeting because I really enjoy meeting new people, and reconnecting with old acquaintances. I’ll have to read the meeting recap to find out what I missed. Maybe I can convince Sherry to give me a one-on-one demo during lunch…

Unfortunately, I have no new members to report this month. We’re currently at 151 members strong and holding.

Last month, I asked our veteran chapter members to send me information about themselves—I didn’t receive a single response. This lack of response leads me to believe that our entire membership:

1. is comprised only of new members, which means head office has their stats wrong
2. has no access to email
3. is painfully shy
4. is horribly busy and can’t spare a single moment for a quick reply

If you’d like to prove me wrong, please email membership@stc-soc.org. I want to hear from those within our membership who joined the STC within the past two years, but have been in the industry for 5, 10, or more years. Forward me a brief biography, and let me know why you eventually decided to join the STC. I'll include selected biographies in this membership article over the next few months.

I hope to hear from you this month!
