The ABC List for August 2008
Welcome to the newest monthly edition of the ABC List. The ABC List
serves 752 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.

Accreditation Month is coming! IABC’s accreditation program is a gateway
to learning and advancing the practice of strategic communication
management. If you are a professional communicator with a minimum of
five years of experience in business communication (organizational
communication, public relations or communications management) and a
bachelor’s degree, or a total of nine years of combined post-secondary
education and/or experience then now is the time to apply. Wondering
where your communication career can take you? Simply conduct your own
personal competency audit at www.iabc.com/leaders/abctoolkit/ to see
where you want to go and if you are ready to pursue accreditation.
Those who submit their application and fee from 1 October – 15 November
will be entered in a drawing for great prizes including an HP printer
and Adobe software. $20 gift certificates to IABC’s Knowledge Centre
will also be provided to all individuals who apply during this event.
Refer an applicant and you too will receive a $20 gift certificate.
