>From some STC sessions late last year, I believe the STC staff and Board had
hoped that membership renewals would provide enough cash to keep going. You
could certainly try to stop payment or dispute the charge, depending on how
you paid, but bankruptcy generally discharges obligations.

I just paid membership joining dues for one of my team a couple days ago,
but I'm in the process of asking our finance team to dispute the charge with
them.
If STC knew they were doing this, they should have suspended membership
applications a while ago, even if under the guise of "processing issues."
While I will miss STC, that last action leaves a very bad taste as their
parting gesture.
