Principles of GPS = STTI FeaturesThe GPS has to be able to “see” you!
– Nurses are very mobile people, from graduation through an extended career
– When you move physically (house address) and/or change your email address, you need to change your membership information on the STTI webpage
– Give an email address you monitor regularly
– Check your junk mail or spam if you have paid your dues and did not receive the “STTI Connect” on the first of the month

In sum,
• If STTI can’t find you, it will be very difficult or impossible to guide you in your career or offer choices along the way.
• When you don’t hear from them, you will ask…what have they done for me lately?
• And, this also means that you need to open and read STTI mail or the GPS might as well be off!

Only You can make STTI a priority
• When the chapter events calendar becomes available add them to your personal calendar. Then….
• When it is time to plan your work schedule, you will be reminded of an event and can plan to be available as off that day or working a shift that will allow participation.
