Subject:RE: Well, I Sure Won't Be in Chicago From:"Sheard,Sonya CNAHP" <Sonya -dot- Sheard -at- CNA -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 12 Apr 2001 11:37:48 -0500
As I read the posts, I see that you all operate in varying fields that span
the spectrum of the 'technical' field. There are _way_ too many specialties
for STC to cover. STC can't do it all--that's where organizations specific
to individual fields have to pick up the slack.
I've only been an STC member for a little over a year, and this year will be
my first conference. Needless to say, I'm pumped about what I will
encounter. Perhaps as my career develops and I change industries, I will no
longer have a need for STC. But right now, I think it's serving its purpose
well.
