The IABC Consultants shared interest group provides a space for communication consultants to develop business connections, exchange ideas with their peers, and advance their careers through collaborative learning. We serve as a trusted resource where members can find real-time support, thoughtful conversations and valuable partnerships that enhance the services they deliver to clients.
Awards programs for professional communicators abound - how do we evaluate if they are worth our time, effort and investment? This practical discussion will help you decide which opportunities could boost your consultancy.
For this community roundtable, we’ll discuss our collective experiences with different awards programs for communicators and marketers. Participants are invited to share about the particulars of different application processes, how to craft a compelling submission, and whether winning an award has served their communications consulting practice.
Accomplished independent communicator Leslie Hetherington, a former president of IABC/Toronto, will kickstart our conversation by talking about her experience winning an IABC Canada Silver Leaf award in 2016 for a government relations campaign she developed for a client and how it affected her consulting practice.
Come prepared to share your own award experiences, questions and insights! Whether you’re award-winning or award-curious, this session will help you make strategic decisions about incorporating awards into your business development plan.
