Membership Renewal

There is still time to renew your STC membership for 2010 and your Chicago Chapter membership! Remember, when you renew your membership and continue as a member in the Chicago Chapter, you are part of an award-winning community that supports your professional development as a technical communicator.

Chicago members who join or renew their membership before February 28, 2010 (including those who renewed prior to December 31, 2009) will be entered in a drawing to win one of the following:

• a complimentary registration to the 2010 STC Summit in Dallas (two names will be drawn, registrations are valued at $845 each)
  
• an Apple iPod touch (32GB, valued at $299)

STC Chicago members who join or renew their membership between March 1 and March 9 will be entered in a drawing to win an Apple iPod touch (8 GB, valued at $199), and those who join or renew their membership between March 10 and March 19 will be entered in a drawing to win an Apple iPod nano (8 GB, valued at $149).

The Summit registration winners will be notified by March 5. Other winners will be notified by March 28.

NOTE: To vote in STC elections members must have renewed by February 28.
