Article 2 Membership Section 1 Members of this organization shall be students seeking to develop technical communication skills and professionals committed to the profession of technical writing. Students are expected to become regular members of the Society once they leave college, although this Chapter will continue them for one year after graduation as student members. This allows for a reasonable transition into corporate employment. Members may also hold office in the Society and in its chapters. Section 3 Annual dues are set by the Society s board of directors and published in Society publications.
Students pay reduced fees while professional members pay regular fees.
Students are encouraged to participate in fund-raising projects to offset costs of membership and conference fees or to solicit corporate sponsorship of their membership. Sponsorships promote close ties between students and professionals within technical communication. The co-presidency promotes the chapter s interests in the professional community and the college. Both presidents will collaboratively determine meetings and programs with the helps of its executive officers and chapter members. The Vice- President assumes the duties of the presidents in their absence or incapacity.
