As you're aware, STC will introduce new membership categories this fall. The new categories vary in price and give members the option of joining multiple STC communities (chapters and SIGs). Membership dues have not been increased.
The STC board of directors recently approved the cost of member dues for four of the new categories. The board also decided how many STC communities members may select. The new categories will appear on dues renewal forms (to be mailed in November) and on new member applications for 2005.
See the table below for an overview of the new membership categories. All dollar amounts are in $US. For more information visit the STC Web site at www.stc.org/transformation/.
