Immediate Past President

During 2009, STC weathered a severe financial crisis; it was the most difficult year in STC history! But we survived; we're still here, and now we're in the process of recovery and tremendous renewal. I am looking forward to continuing to guide STC forward in 2010, with great new educational programs designed to support our new certification program, which will take shape this year! It's going to be another exciting and productive year!
