This is interesting. I was researching applying to a WinWriters conference
for a presentation last year. While my memory is fuzzy, I feel pretty sure
that conference speakers didn't have to pay the conference registration
fee, and there might have even been an honorarium involved.
Seems odd that the STC doesn't have a similar policy. As was said, all the
members potentially benefit from these speakers, so why basically not
reward the speakers for adding to the knowledge of the community?

You said you don't make the rules. "Neither do I," was my first thought.
Then I thought, why not? I'm a member; it's my organization, too. So I'm
going to write to the STC about this policy, for what it's worth. Maybe
you should too.
