Faculty Advisors: Chapter Financial Report Forms Due May 31, 2006

In early May, the Society office will mail chapter financial report forms and instructions to student chapter faculty advisors. To qualify for a dues rebate, faculty advisors (or the student chapter's treasurer) must return the completed form to the Society office by May 31, 2006. (The fiscal year for student chapters is May 1 through April 30; the fiscal year for professional chapters is July 1 through June 30.) The Society office issues rebates for student chapters in September.

The financial report form for student chapters and instructions for completing the form are available on the Society Web site at www.stc.org/stcmembers/chFinances01.asp. You can download the form in PDF format or as a Microsoft Excel file that contains formulas to ensure correct calculations.

The Society office will mail chapter report forms to presidents and treasurers of regular chapters in June.
