I have been a loyal and enthusiastic member and supporter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) for over four decades. But lately, IABC is instituting so many changes that I hardly recognize my beloved professional association.
With any change initiative, frequent, honest, two-way communication is an absolute must. IABC has sponsored untold professional development offerings over the years to tell members that. But is IABC doing what it says its members should do? Simply put, is IABC walking the talk?
My colleague and friend, Sue Horner, Ontario-based writer and long-time IABC member, recently posted an insightful discussion of the IABC situation. I suggest that anyone interested in IABC read her thoughtful observations. You can find it at Sue’s blog, The Red Jacket Dairies.
Les, thanks so much for your kind remarks and pointing to my blog. Your voice is one of the very ones I think IABC should be listening to.
Thoughtful, as always, Les. Thank you for your voice!
I wasn’t even aware IABC was still active!
