Did you know?
IABC/BC is completely led and run by volunteers. From president to webmaster to event planners to SIG leaders, our “workforce” is comprised of IABC/BC members.
Perks of membership
Volunteering with IABC/BC is one of the advantages to being a member. To some, this might sound like working for nothing. For others, like our 100-strong group of volunteer, this is all about learning, sharing, connecting and being a part of something meaningful and worthwhile.
Thank you!
The IABC/BC board of directors is tremendously appreciative of our volunteers. Last month, we got the chance to thank some of our volunteers with a free professional development event. Jonathan Anthony delivered a “storify” of past tweets for our “Power of networking: Make you career go BOOM!” presentation, which he subtitled “The curious shall inherit.”
