Learn Public Relations Skills Through STC's Chapter Competition  

Technical communicators need public relations skills. STC offers two free opportunities to learn these skills. You can build a portfolio of public relations pieces you produce for your chapter. You can get feedback on them from the Chapter Public Relations Competition, and you may win an award.

The Marathon of Chapter Presidency  

This panel discussion takes shape as the audience molds it. Each panelist is a past STC chapter president. Issues are audience-dependent but may include topics such as handling volunteers, managing money, recruiting members, and so forth.
