Re: Is the STC worth it?

[John G <john -at- garisons -dot- com>]

My company pays for my membership - they pay for all the writers via a
corporate membership.

I have been a dues-paying member when I have been employed as a writer ...
um, content developer ... um, communicator over the last 25 years. It's not
THAT much money, and it is tax deductible, and there are benefits to me
more than the company. But the company gets something out of it too.

My 2Â,

JG
