As an international professional organization, we recognize that the membership of STC includes individuals representing different faiths, religions, beliefs, and lifestyles. STC aims to make its services and benefits available to all members while respecting their differences.
When planning activities that cross borders and include members with cultural, national, and faith differences, every effort is made to assure that these activities are not in conflict with the sensitivities of members. However, because of the global nature of our organization, it is possible that some activities may conflict with national or religious holidays. Should this happen, no insult to members and their culture, nation, or faith is intended or implied.
STC asks anyone who is unable to participate in a Society-level STC event due to a conflict with a national or religious holiday to contact the office. Often, proceedings or papers from events are available to those unable to attend.
