But this will not replace the personal contact to other people working in our
 field.

These chapters might help at some topics specific to your part of the world,
 but will not give you enough personal contact.

Either try to form a national chapter of STC or start an own society. We have
 one here in Germany (tekom) and only quite few people over here are STC
 members.

If many of your colleagues speak English quite well, a STC chapter might be
 the best choice. But if many do not speak English, STC is not much help for
 them.


Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
