Star Membership
A primary reason for the formation of the Society for the Technological Advancement of Reporting was to create an organization through which its members could exchange information, evaluate products, and present their ideas to the manufacturer with a united voice. Today STAR members continue to take an active part in presenting information needed to enhance and improve CAT technology and related products.
