About Us

The Central Ohio Chapter of STC was founded in response to the growing number of technical communications professionals in the Columbus metropolitan area, including The Ohio State University. The objectives of the chapter, as stated in the Chapter By-Laws, serve to advance the arts and sciences of technical communication in the Central Ohio area. Central Ohio members are drawn from a geographical boundary of about 100 miles around Columbus.

The chapter meets each month between September and the following May. Locations alternate around Columbus and the times may change, however, the meetings are usually held on the third Wednesday of the month. Topics of the meetings range from social gatherings to hard core discussions on ethics, desktop publishing techniques, or other field-related topics.

In some cases, our chapter is invited to a local business, such as a graphic arts studio or manufacturing plant, to tour the facilities. These field trips offer a great perspective on other work environments and methodologies.

The board members meet on a regular basis. If you have any issues for the board to address, contact a board member.
