The ABC List for October 2007
Welcome to the newest monthly edition of the ABC List. The ABC List
serves 680 professional communicators.
This newsletter is a forum for accredited communicators, but more
importantly, those communicators interested in learning more about
becoming accredited, the value of accreditation and the process to
attain accreditation. If you have a question, a topic for discussion or
something you’d like to see in the ABC List, e-mail onu-@iabc.com.
If your chapter is holding a workshop, fun shop, exam prep session, exam
date, pinning ceremony or the like, let me know and I’ll publicize your
event here in the ABC List.

*** Urgent Reminder: ABC Study – Last Chance for Your Input
Accredited members: If you haven't had a chance to take the survey that
was sent to you electronically on 12 October, you have until Friday, 2
November, to do so. The study, co-sponsored by IABC/Chicago and L.C.
Williams & Associates and endorsed by the IABC Accreditation Council,
will help determine the value of accreditation in a professional’s life
as well as the impact on the organization and community. There are only
12 questions -- mostly multiple-choice responses -- so it should only
take a few minutes to complete. If you did not receive the survey,
e-mail Olivia Nucum at onu-@iabc.com.
*** About the ABC List:
