The ABC List for December 2007
Welcome to the newest monthly edition of the ABC List. The ABC List
serves 691 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.

*** Upcoming Exam Teleseminar: “Preparing for your Accreditation Exam”
On 31 January 2008, Jo Langham, ABC, and Mark Estes, ABC, will present
“Preparing for your Accreditation Exam.” This session will provide you
with an in-depth understanding of how to prepare in order to
successfully complete the four-hour written and half-hour oral exam. The
teleseminar aims to take the mystery (and much of the anxiety) out of
the process and provide insights into preparing for the exam, as well as
managing your time (and your mind!) during testing.

*** Upcoming Portfolio Teleseminar: “Developing your Accreditation
Portfolio”
Learn how to prepare your accreditation portfolio by participating in
this teleseminar lead by Nick Durutta, ABC, director of portfolio
evaluators, on 20 March 2008.
This session will provide a short overview of the steps involved in
accreditation and will be followed by an in-depth review of what makes a
good portfolio, with a focus on writing a workplan that meets the
portfolio-grading criteria. You'll learn from a presenter who has not
only experienced this process, but also regularly reviews and grades
portfolios.
This teleseminar is designed for accreditation candidates who are
currently working on their portfolio, as well as for anyone considering
accreditation.
