Looking Back, Looking Ahead: IABC/Washington’s January Chapter Meeting

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

I know it must seem like IABC/Washington‘s the only thing on my mind at present – I assure you it’s not. But I did want to let you know about what I think will be a terrific event as we usher in 2010. And given how crazy the holidays get, I wanted to get the word out earlier rather than later.

Our first chapter meeting next year will bring together some of the smartest people in the DC metro area to look at the changes (often dramatic) that our business has seen […]

“Demystifying Communication…

Estimated Reading Time: 43 seconds

… in a Digital World” is an article Cision asked me to write for its Navigator, loosely based on this presentation I made at Goodwill Industries International‘s 2009 Summer Learning Event (which was great, every organization should put on an event like that).

I’ve subscribed to the Navigator for years, so was thrilled to be asked. Thank you, Cision, and in particular, thank you Scott Henderson for so graciously sharing the details of the Pledge to End Hunger for both the presentation and the […]
