“What can we do for you today?”
a message from
Dalton Hooper
Immediate Past President
STC Orlando Chapter

Welcome! I’m glad you are visiting our site. Let me tell you a little about us. We are the Orlando Central Florida Chapter of the
Society for Technical Communication (STC). We were formed in 1977 and are a group dedicated to serving the needs
of technical communicators within the greater Orlando area and beyond. We accomplish this by providing our members with
- An outlet for networking, fellowship, and sharing of information among like-minded technical communicators.
- Recognition as a member of an active, community-minded professional association.
- Information regarding technical communication employment opportunities in the central Florida area.
- Professional leadership opportunities.
In addition, our chapter also provides
- Funding for Melissa Pellegrin Memorial Scholarships awarded to technical communication students at the University of Central Florida.
- Mentorship to less experienced technical communicators.
- Funding and hosting of the annual High School Writing Competition awards.
By this time, you may be asking, “What is a technical communicator, exactly?” Well, a technical communicator can be any
one of a number of roles. Some of the more commonly known roles include:
- Technical Writers
- Web Designers
- Technical Illustrators
|
- Business Analysts
- Documentation Specialists
- Technical Translators
|
- Information Developers
- Technical Editors
- Indexers
|

join us as my guest. If you have any questions,
