"Active" Membership Qualifications - Dues $275 annually

Any person shall be eligible for Active Membership in the Organization who is employed by a broker, dealer, financial institution, exchange or other trading related business (subject to Board approval) located in the Chicagoland investment community and is employed in some capacity that directly supports the trading of securities, and who has served in such capacity for a period of not less than one year (however, the one year requirement may be waived at the discretion of the Membership Committee.) A membership shall become void at the end of the fiscal year during which the member ceases to be active in the securities business in the Chicagoland investment community except as explained in Section Four, or with approval from the Membership Committee.

All membership applications must be signed by the applicant and two sponsors and are approved at each Board meeting (held the second Tuesday of each month.) A sponsor must be a STAC member in good standing. When applying online for membership, simply enter the name and contact information of your sponsors and the STAC office will follow up with them.

Please be aware that the STAC membership year runs from March 1 - February 28. Renewal dues are billed on March 1 regardless of join date.
