STC has a top-down, and top-heavy structure that has caused it to become prohibitively expensive for me to justify paying for another year. So, I've done a little searching and found a few resources.
I have included the e-mail link to the techcompros.com list serve. This is one resource. I'm still attending the local chapter meetings as a non-member. It only costs a few dollars more to attend as a non-member. Are you familiar with MeetUp.com? Visit their website and see if there is a local group meeting to discuss technical writing or your field of expertise. The meetings are usually free, or very low cost.

Thank you. Dan--Ft. Lauderdale Just in case your boss comes to the same decision I arrived at, there are free resources that can help you overcome the void that not belonging to STC brings to your bag of skills. If you are interested in learning more about this topic, please contact me off of the list. Good Luck!
