All meetings of the STC include either a lunch or supper with a featured keynote speaker. During these dining events, members socialize in a comfortable, pleasant setting while enjoying a delightful meal and a conversation-stimulating keynote presentation. If you happen to be a national HPS member you have no doubt read about our recent accomplishments in The HPS Newsletter. Besides Chapter representation on the national HPS Board of Directors and Committees, the Chapter consistently nominates recipients for national honors and awards. Of late, the STC has been looked to as a successful example of producing highly successful Science Teacher Workshops.
Work continues toward providing our quality product to the rest of the nation.
The STC has also been selected as the host Chapter for the 2002 national HPS Mid-Year Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. 4. Continuing Education Units - The STC is pleased to offer continuing education units for Chapter members attending the technical programs of our meetings who hold certifications with the American Board of Health Physicists, the Texas Board of Licensure for Professional Medical Physicists and The Medical Radiologic Technologist Certification Program, Texas Department of Health. Besides the education provided by the STC's publication, The Billet, our Annual Meeting features presentations by students pursuing degrees in the radiation protection and health physics fields. The Annual Meeting of the STC affords the opportunity for direct interaction between students of health physics and radiation protection and Chapter members who may someday hire them. The venue is always a hotel on or close to the beautiful San Antonio Riverwalk, plus the weekend just so happens to be very close to Valentines Day.
