The STC is the Society for Technical Communication and is definitely an
organization that everyone on this list should want to join. Currently
with a membership of approximately 16,000, the chapter provides a forum
for technical communicators to exchange ideas and experiences, has various
grants, loans, and awards programs, stages numerous national and regional
conferences, and publishes a host of periodicals and newsletters (e.g.,
Technical Communication, Intercom, Interchange, Careers in Technical
Communication, and so on).
