Ever wonder if you're cut out to be a contractor?
By Catherine Robinson
Have you ever wondered what being a contractor is like and if you are up to the task? Or have you wanted to gain some independence through contracting? If so, you need to ask yourself some of the burning questions that follow.

STC's 2004 annual election to be held
The annual STC election will be held in early 2004, and only members who have paid their dues by February 27, 2004, will be eligible to vote. An option on the dues renewal forms and new membership applications for 2004 allows members to receive their election materials via e-mail. In March, members who selected this option will be e-mailed the slate, candidate biographies, and voting instructions. Members who did not select this option will receive these materials by first-class mail. The election closes 9 a.m. on April 15. Be sure to renew by February 27 to have a say in STC's future!
