Every time you recruit a new member, you strengthen STC. A vital and growing STC membership means greater recognition of technical communicators, improved educational and networking opportunities for members, and the advancement of the profession. Why not reach out and share the same valuable opportunities with your colleagues?
STC’s Reach Out, Connect, and Recruit Member-Get-a-Member Campaign is really about you. We know that you understand the value of your STC membership and now is the perfect time to reach out to your professional contacts and recruit them to join STC. And, when you recruit a new member, we want to reward you.
The Campaign runs from 14 October 2010 through 15 January 2011.
Please click on one of the “stars” to the left to find important information on how you and you chapter or SIG can recruit and become eligible to win fabulous prizes.
Did you know that a large percentage of new members join STC simply because someone invited them? Reaching out and recruiting a member is easy when you find yourself interacting with colleagues at meetings, online, on the job, or while networking. Simply tell your colleagues how you have benefited from your membership in STC and suggest that they visit http://www.stc.org/membership/ to learn more about membership and to join.
When a friend or colleague joins STC on your recommendation, they simply fill in your name and the name of the chapter or SIG on the online application form. Every time you, a chapter, or a SIG recruits an individual member, one point is given. One point is equal to $10—up to a maximum of five credits or $50—toward your 2011 STC membership. When a student member is recruited, a half a point is given. You must recruit two students to receive credit toward your membership dues. STC will keep track of your recruitment activity for you and post your recruitment activity on the results pages. It's that simple.
It may be more convenient or appropriate for you to provide us with contact information for an individual who is a candidate for membership, and we take the next step. Send the potential new member’s complete contact information to Stacey O'Donnell. STC will send membership information and an application. However, you will not be considered the “recruiter” unless the new member provides your name on the application as the person who introduced him/her to STC.
