Out of the box, from the STC you get magazines and e-mail. It's up to you to get your butt to meetings and events and to actively network. No one's going to do that for you. Basically, if you join any society, all you get is the stuff they push out. For real benefit, you need to get out there and get active. I can't tell you how wonderful networking with other professionals out there has been. Not only do I have a lot of professional contacts, but I've made a lot of excellent close friendships as well. I've not been disappointed. -- Bill Swallow HATT List Owner WWP-Users List Owner Senior Member STC, TechValley Chapter STC Single-Sourcing SIG Manager http://techcommdood.blogspot.com avid homebrewer and proud beer snob "I see your OOO message and raise you a clue." ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
