First, a little background on me. I knew while I was in college that I wanted to be a technical writer after graduation. I switched to an English major for that purpose, and picked classes that gave me a “technical communication emphasis”. I joined STC while I was in college because I wanted to connect with people in my field. I got a chapter scholarship to attend a regional STC conference, and had a great time meeting people who did for a living what I was studying. http://tc.eserver.org/34409.html http://tc.eserver.org/34409.html The STC Chicago is an active local community, with frequent meetings and a collection of online articles and resources. http://tc.eserver.org/33211.html http://tc.eserver.org/33211.html A community of hundreds of technical and professional writers, editors and illustrators from around Cleveland, Akron-Canton, Youngstown and Ashtabula who exchange ideas and feelings about their careers. http://tc.eserver.org/32669.html http://tc.eserver.org/32669.html The Indiana Chapter of STC represents professional technical communicators in the state of Indiana.
