STC is listening – how do you think we should resolve our financial crisis?

STC needs your help – now! We have a financial crisis, not unlike the crisis that faces many associations like our own, but that is not a comforting fact. We need your input, thoughts, reflections to help STC resolve its situation one way or another.

People are already blogging about this issue.

• Tom Johnson wrote about Lifelines to the STC
• Sarah O’Keefe asks Whither STC
• M. K. Anderson writes In Which I Comment on the STC Issue
• David Farbey writes Does STC deserve to survive?

As you can see from the titles alone, this is a serious discussion. Some might even ask why do we need to solve this financial crisis? This is a time for societal (or personal) soul-searching. What are your thoughts on the topic?

What’s this about?

Last week, Cindy Currie, STC President, sent out a message to all STC members asking for input to help resolve the financial crisis that the Society is facing. The Society really does need your input now! If you are an STC member and have not received this mail, request a copy through a comment in the blog, the contact page, or a mail on the SIG discussion list.

For those who use Twitter, tag your tweets with #stcorg when discussing STC’s current situation to submit quick ideas. @stceusig will tweet news as it pops up.

Share your ideas here or on the blogs listed here. Perhaps a European point-of-view is needed on this topic. Who knows? We’ll never know if you keep your great ideas to yourself! Remember, your ideas are really needed at stc@stc.org – they are waiting for input from all STC members. Together, we can make a difference.
