President's Corner
Like most of you, I have recently gone through another type of renewal: renewal of my STC chapter and special interest group (SIG) membership. (Membership renewal fees were due January 1, 2007.) With my membership I reap many benefits, including:
And what do those benefits cost me? Less than $15 a month. That’s quite the bargain! What else does it cost me? As an active volunteer I spend some time and a little gasoline money here and there. But in exchange I establish working relationships with some of the brightest minds in the Colorado technical communications field. And I enhance my skills as a leader, mentor, negotiator, diplomat, and writer. You may have paid your dues for this new year, but how about an actual renewal—will you experience one this year? Specifically, consider renewing your commitment to the STC RMC and becoming more involved in our community. The chapter and your peers could benefit from your expertise and your opinions. And perhaps you could benefit from the experience. If you would like to discuss how to take on a more active role in our chapter, contact Ron Arner (vice-president@stcrmc.org) or me (president@stcrmc.org). By the way, even though the STC membership renewal deadline was January 1, it’s not too late. For those of us already in the profession or joining the profession, the benefits really do outweigh the costs. Go to https://www.stc.org/duesrenewal/ to renew today.  |

It’s a new year, which always gives me a feeling of renewal and rebirth. I look forward to the many challenges the new year brings, and at this point the year is full of opportunity and hope; a clean slate. Plus, I really enjoy opening my new Franklin Planner calendar, placing the sheets in my binder, and writing on those blank pages.
