Our mission statement is: Designing the future of technical communication

The Society for Technical Communication (STC) is an individual membership organization dedicated to advancing the arts and sciences of technical communication. STC is the largest organization of its type in the world. Its 25,000 members include technical writers, editors, graphic designers, videographers, multimedia artists, Web and Intranet page information designers, translators, and others whose work involves making technical information available to those who need it.

Society membership provides opportunities for ongoing learning and professional networking. Through the efforts of a small, full-time staff and a large network of volunteers, STC promotes the public welfare by educating its members and industry about issues concerning technical communication.

  • Member: $125 per year (plus a one-time $15 enrollment fee)
  • Student Member: $50 per year (enrollment fee not required)

As part of its annual fall membership drive, STC offers a special discount to new members who join the Society on or after October 1, 2002.

For the regular member rate of $140 ($125 for dues plus a one-time $15 enrollment fee), new members will be credited with dues paid for the remainder of 2002 and for calendar year 2003. That's 15 months of Society membership for the price of 12.

Among the benefits of Society membership are subscriptions to Intercom, the Society's monthly magazine, published 10 times a year, and to Technical Communication, the Society's quarterly journal. These periodicals contain essential articles on the theory and practice of technical communication.

Other membership benefits include discounts on STC's annual conference, the largest gathering of technical communicators in the world; eligibility for association group rate insurance; and access to STC's special interest groups.
