Global Strategies Committee
So, it appears that STC has struck a committee to help improve how it functions as a global organization. The other day, Michèle Marques got in touch with me and asked if I’d be interested in being our SIG’s liaison to that committee, and I agreed to give it a try.
There’s no particular job description that goes with this gig, so I’m interpreting it as follows:
- If SIG members (or other Canadian STC members) have something to say about how STC supports and accommodates its Canadian members, I can relay it to the committee.
- When the committee does stuff, I’ll let the SIG know about it.
So, if you’ve got something to say, let me know. Otherwise, stay tuned…

I noticed on the STC salary survey page that the STC has “converted” from doing their own survey to using statistics gathered by the US Department of Labor. While that might be more accurate for people in the U.S., I am concerned that Canadians will no longer have salary survey information.

Sorry for not replying sooner — I’m wondering how soon they’re going to implement this, and whether/how we in Canada could start gathering our own information.

Another interesting question on the salary survey — have a look at this:

Further to the salary survey, I’ve recently heard that the move to using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment Survey (OES) could be more like the opening move in a transition rather than the end of the line. I don’t have any firm information yet, but this is what it looks like to the people I’ve talked to so far.
Stay tuned…
