About STC-SM

The Southeastern Michigan Chapter (STC/SM) ranges from Jackson, Michigan, to Lansing and Port Huron—with a majority of our members concentrated in the metro Detroit and Ann Arbor areas.

Our local chapter provides learning and networking opportunities for technical communicators and supports the international STC organization with its efforts. Our chapter members include technical writers, instructional designers, technical editors, business writers, usability professionals, communication managers, instructors, Web developers, and more. The STC/SM is composed of technical communicators who are employed full time, part time, and on a consulting, contracting, or freelance basis. We also have student members and members who are new to the field of technical communication.
