Attention: Mr. Peter Herbst, Executive Director
Dear Mr. Herbst:As President of the New Jersey Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication and as a Senior Member of STC, I wish to express to you my concern over the recent change of policy whereby Local STC chapters now receive their chapter budgets in two payments rather than one annual payment.
While it may be advantageous to the parent organization to withhold payment, gaining interest and reducing administrative paperwork and man hours, the disadvantages are thereby put off onto the local chapters. All members of the New Jersey Chapter are placed at a disadvantage by this policy. We find it difficult to engage in long range chapter planning without the ability to gauge our remaining chapter funds for the year. Because our members pay these funds to STC, we as a chapter expect to manage our own funds just as we manage our own affairs. Past experience has proven that we have been able to promote growth and furnish our members with successful chapter activities supported by the annual one-payment receipt of these, our own funds. On behalf of the chapter, I ask that you initiate action to revert STC policy so that we may once again completely manage our own chapter funds on a one-payment, annual basis.
Sincerely,
Raymond J. Mullin, Ph.D.
President - NJSTC
