STC Montreal

Your Turn to Participate

This is STC-Montreal’s formal request for candidates for positions on the chapter’s administrative council.

The open positions are President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Descriptions of the positions follow below.

For nearly 20 years, STC-Montreal has provided a variety of services to the Montreal technical writing community, including monthly speakers, educational seminars and workshops, publications competitions, a website with online forums and job listings, not to mention social networking events.
