The Society of Communications Technology Consultants International (SCTC)

The SCTC is the largest professional association of independent information and communications technology (ICT) professionals in North America. Since its founding in 1976 the SCTC has been dedicated to three key principles:

1. Enhancing the professional growth and development of members
2. Building a network of partnerships among the members to deliver high quality solutions to clients
3. Sustaining a network of independent consultants, who adhere to high ethical standards as written in the STC Code of Ethics

Mr. Hathaway has been an active member of the SCTC since 2001 serving on the Board of Directors for seven years and as a Past President (2008-2010). SCTC consultants set themselves apart from our industry associates by adherence to the 10 point Code of Ethics. The SCTC Code of Ethics are the guiding principles by which RLH Telecom Solutions conducts business with clients, providers and other industry professionals. Each SCTC member signs the Code of Ethics when they are nominated and approved for membership and again each year when they renew their membership.
