Have you written an article recently for publication somewhere? Have you volunteered for STC outside the chapter? Given a presentation? We may want to put your name into our Achievements brochure to be published in June, and you can also help the chapter get recognized.

Community Achievement Award

The Community Achievement Award recognizes a chapter’s outstanding accomplishments towards the goals of STC. This award is presented only to chapters that have distinguished themselves by exceeding ordinary expectations. 

Each spring, STC chapters are evaluated for their achievements during the time frame that includes April 1 to March 31. The Phoenix Chapter is in the process of compiling all the achievements accomplished this year.
