Testimonials
What Members Are Saying
“When I transitioned to my current role three years ago, I started thinking about certification and looking for ways to amp up my management skills. Getting involved in IABC has been a great way to build my professional network.”
“My first boss invited me to join her at an IABC/DC Metro chapter meeting, which began my 30+ year relationship with IABC! My first international conference opened my eyes even further to the benefits. Later, I became chapter president and then an IABC executive board member. I’m certain the corporate, agency, and teaching positions I’ve had wouldn’t have been possible without the career and leadership development benefits of IABC.”
“IABC provides opportunities to serve that give something of yourself to help others, but also helps you in so many ways. The more you serve, the more you learn, and the more networking opportunities come your way. You will find you have a world of communicators available at the click of a mouse who are able and willing to help you.”
