Subscribe to the Journals Over the weekend, I posted my thoughts on the STC dues increase that was announced in October.
On a related note, Tom Johnson posted the results to date of a brief survey we’ve done with the chapter. If our chapter is a microcosm as Tom wonders in this post, then more challenges await STC in 2010.

More challenges, indeed. As for myself, I intend to try the IEEE, which offers a Professional Communication Society. If the IEEE doesn’t hold my interest, I might return.

On second thought, I probably won’t join the IEEE, either. That doesn’t mean I’m renewing with the STC. The pay cuts are still in place at my company, as is a spending freeze. My company says they are in the black — and they intend to stay that way. This year, I’m not even going to ask if they will pay for my membership. Seems a bit frivolous. Can’t afford it on my own, so I will make do without.
