Questions about This Webinar?

Personally, I’m juggling dollars to come up with the dues. I’m probably going to take the four-month payment plan STC International is offering–a bit less painful that way. When I consider the value I’ve received from STC, especially the Phoenix Chapter, it’s a small investment in my career and potential earnings.

Yes, we’ve all experienced fewer dollars in our pockets this past year, some more than others. And, uncertainty regarding jobs, contracts, and potential employment has hit hard. But, things seem to be getting better. While not the great rush we’d like it to be, but there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

STC Phoenix has been good to me: jobs, friends, and opportunities for personal growth. It wasn’t given to me, I participate and I’ve earned it. Volunteering may not pay in dollars, it does pay in personal satisfaction and the potential to learn something new.

As you contemplate your renewal decision here are a couple articles for you to read. They may help:

I look forward to seeing you all at the November 10, 2009 Meet and Greet at the Duck and Decanter, Camelback & 16th Street.

Until then,
