The Chapter is its members—without members, there is no chapter. The Membership Committee plans and conducts an annual membership drive, works with the Public Affairs committee to promote our activities with regional employers, and helps welcome new members into our community.
The Membership Committee:
- Forwards all original membership applications (with payment) to the Society office for processing
- Receives and updates the chapter roster and copies of membership applications, changes of address, and so forth, and maintains the membership records
- Forwards changes received directly from members to the STC office for processing through official channels
- Welcomes new members and mails them the most recent issue of the chapter newsletter
- Maintains a complete, up–to–date mailing list; adds, deletes, and changes information in accordance with information received from the STC office (the STC office furnishes a monthly list of chapter members)
- Operates a system for producing mailing labels based on the mailing list (if labels are not requested from the STC office)
- Submits membership material (additions, deletions, changes) to the newsletter editor on a regular basis
- Works with the directory committee to prepare and publish a membership directory each year
- Organizes and directs an active membership recruiting campaign, especially during the period between October and December
- Receives and forwards membership applications to the Society office
- Notifies the chapter president and editor of new members and sends appropriate notification to the Society office
- Provides membership information to non-members and organizations with legitimate requests, on approval by the administrative council
