About STC-Huntsville/North Alabama 
Our chapter has been a leading professional resource for area technical communicators since 1959. The Huntsville/North Alabama Chapter is a part of STC Region 3. We are also a member of the Huntsville Area Technical and Professional Societies (HATS), a local service organization for technical businesses, organizations, and professionals.
STC is an individual membership organization dedicated to advancing the arts and sciences of technical communication. It is the largest organization of its type in the world. Its 25,000 members include technical writers and editors, content developers, documentation specialists, technical illustrators, instructional designers, academics, information architects, usability and human factors professionals, visual designers, Web designers and developers, and translators - anyone whose work makes technical information available to those who need it.
Society membership provides opportunities for ongoing learning and professional networking. Through the efforts of a small, full-time staff and a large network of volunteers, STC promotes the public welfare by educating its members and industry about issues concerning technical communication.
