Chapter Meetings
The Arkansas Chapter of the STC usually meets each month, except for the month of the STC Annual Conference (usually April or May), and no regular meetings in July, August, November and December. (Special gatherings are often held in lieu of the regular meeting during these months.) Regular meetings are scheduled at times that seem appropriate for the current members and the officers. These meetings are usually where important chapter business is discussed, so officers are normally expected to attend.
Recently we have had most meetings in various classrooms at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Our meetings are open to the public. So bring your friends, students, fellow
workers and children. Please feel free to join us.

Satellite meetings are underway in Fayetteville, serving Northwest Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma.

We sometimes hear from members wanting meetings in other parts of the state, such as:
