What and Why

Join us at our annual Open House! This year, our Open House also serves as our annual meeting. We will recognize past officers and volunteers, introduce our new officers, and update you on our status as well as that of the Society for Technical Communication, our parent organization.

Our chapter is still going strong with over 400 members. There are many opportunities for you to get involved, build your network, and increase your net worth. Our committee managers will be on hand at this event to let you know what they are planning for this year and what might be a good fit for your interest and availability.
