Society for Technical Communication

• Professional membership organization made up of over 6,000 students, academics, and practitioners. For over 60 years it has been the world’s leading organization dedicated to advancing the field of technical communication and the skills of our members.

• Recognized as an authority in the disciplines of designing and delivering content; and a leader in articulating the value of content and the value of those who develop it. Membership in STC is an internationally respected and desired complement to the study, teaching, and practice of technical communication.

• Technical Communicators employ a user-centered approach to providing the right information, in the right way, at the right time to make someone’s life easier and more productive.
