Membership

Our membership has tripled from the 15 founding members. We've done this by offering our members opportunities to share information and broaden opportunities in the field of technical communications. There are many tangible benefits to joining STC:

Award-winning publications to keep you up-to-date on current trends, tools, and practices vital to the industry.
Networking opportunities
Free or inexpensive educational seminars.
The opportunity to join our chapter's Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
Forums for sharing your expertise, expressing your professional opinion, and building a reputation within the industry.
Access to STC's Jobs Database- containing an average of more than 1000 current job openings specifically geared toward the technical communication field. Visit our local job opportunities page.
STC's Annual Salary Survey, which provides vital statistics on pay and benefits for technical communicators in the U.S. and Canada.
STC now offers its members a range of health insurance options thanks to a program recently implemented in cooperation with Marsh Affinity Group Services, a leader in insurance program management. In addition, STC members may enjoy discounts on other types of insurance from Mutual of Omaha. These include disability coverage, critical illness insurance, life insurance, long term care insurance, and pension plans.
Mailings from local chapters, meeting announcements, and newsletters.
Unrestricted access to STC's award-winning Web site.

You can also volunteer to help with events and programs. There are lots of opportunities within our chapter. Additional information on membership can be found on STC's website.

Where We Are

The Susquehanna Valley Chapter of the STC serves all of Central Pennsylvania, the wide expanse of forests and farms and mountains and towns and rivers found between the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In such a wide space, it's not surprising that our membership is spread out. Here is a map that shows where our members live and work:

Special Thanks

We would like to thank all the support the founding members have given through the years. Without you, our networking opportunities, learning experiences and professional skills would have been not be what they are. Technical Communications is a field that infuses the sciences with the art of writing and illustrating, teaching, and managing. Thanks again to all the creative, hardworking talent that belongs to this chapter.
