Advertising Policy

The Central Illinois Chapter offers four vehicles for mentions and advertising: the Weekly Announcement is a text memo emailed to members only; the Monthly Newsletter is a text e-newsletter emailed to members and interested parties; the Monthly Chapter Meeting is widely publicized and open to everyone: the web site is accessible by anyone.

The Central Illinois Chapter will gladly mention non-profit products and services that positively affect, as determined by the chapter board, the technical communication profession in the Weekly Announcement, the Monthly Newsletter, and at the Monthly Chapter Meeting.

The Central Illinois Chapter will mention for-fee seminars that positively affect, as determined by the chapter board, the technical communication profession in the Weekly Announcement and at the Monthly Chapter Meeting in exchange for publicizing STC at the seminar.

The Central Illinois Chapter can mention a commercial and for-profit products and services that offer discounts to STC members, and provide a link for more information in the Weekly Announcement. A mention does not include any marketing/promotional narratives, but simply identifies the product or service, the STC discount, and the link.

The Central Illinois Chapter offers advertising space on an as-available basis in the Monthly Newsletter and on the web site. The advertised product or service must offer a discount to STC members. The rates are as follows and must be paid in advance.

Monthly Newsletter (published at least 10 times each year): $250/year or $30 each newsletter.
Web site: $25 without link; $30 with link.

Job opportunities within a two- to three-hour traveling radius may be included on the chapter web site as space allows and as web master time permits.

Central Illinois Chapter members may include their freelance activities on the chapter web site on the Freelancers page.
