Chapter news

In the spotlight...Salary survey

Every two years, the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the STC conducts an annual survey of its members to gain valuable information regarding the types of members we have, the salaries people are currently earning, the independent contractor scene, and how satisfied we are with our profession.

Look for an e-mail in early December inviting you to take the 2003 STC RMC Salary Survey. This year we are conducting the survey online. Your responses will be kept private and anonymous. Please make every effort to participate because the survey results are an important indicator of salary trends in the Rocky Mountain region.

If you do not have a valid e-mail address registered with the STC, please contact Molly Malsam at malsam@ecentral.com or 303-694-3701 to participate in the survey.
