STC is excited to announce the 2008 membership renewal challenge designed to support chapters’ renewal efforts with a variety of incentives.

The chapters in each size category that obtain the highest renewal rate by March 31 will receive four free registrations for the Technical Communication Summit, to be held June 1–4, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Other prizes will also be distributed.

To compete in the challenge, a chapter must reach a renewal rate of 71 percent. In case of a tie, a drawing will be held to determine the winner. Winning percentages include all members who have already renewed this year. Size categories are Category 1 (601 or more members); Category 2 (301 to 600 members); Category 3 (151 to 300 members); Category 4 (76 to 150 members); Category 5 (41 to 75 members); and Category 6 (15 to 40 members).

The STC office will send renewal applications to each chapter in addition to providing promotional ideas. STC will honor the chapters with the highest retention rate at the Technical Communication Summit in June.

If you would like a list of members in your chapter who have not renewed, please contact Evelyn McCamey, Community Relations Manager.
