What a great year we’ve had. We started the program year off celebrating our 50th anniversary as a techcomm organization. Then, we ended the program year being recognized at the STC Summit in Atlanta as a Distinguished Chapter (highest rank) and also the Most Improved Chapter. Part of what made this year fantastic was the increase in the amount of online engagement. In September of 2012, I shared some stats that showed that STC Houston ranked #25 as one of the most popular STC chapters or SIGs on Twitter. I’m excited to share that we’ve moved up to #17 and that the number of followers of @STCHouston has increased by almost 50%.

Great stuff! How was this list generated?
Rick, since I took over as Social Media Manager for STC Houston in August 2012, I’ve been tracking the numbers. I reported STC Houston’s rank at the beginning of the program year, and I decided to close the program year with a report on our progress. I have a spreadsheet in which I track the numbers, so if you would like to see it, I’m happy to share.
Thanks,
