Senior Members Urged to Evangelize?

Has any of you senior members (5 or more years of membership) received a missive from STC President Edward See urging you to promote STC among your colleagues? Renewal rate is apparently down, and we want to boost it.

Does any of you senior members have any opinions to express on the value of STC to the more senior writers among us? Just what is the value you find in this organization? New tools? New processes? New networking opportunities? Sure, it can be a great way for new TWs to come up to speed, but is it feeding those of us who are longer in the tooth? Can you think of any services that STC should be providing to help retain our seniors?
