IABC Canada’s leaders shine at Chapter Management Awards

June 23, 2021

Last week at the virtual 2021 IABC Chapter Management Awards Ceremony and Leader Reception, chapters were recognized for their leadership, management, creativity and teamwork. Chapter Management Awards (CMAs) showcase chapters’ successes and demonstrate the value chapters provide to their communities.

Over the past year, leaders across Canada rose to the challenge of leading chapters during a pandemic. They worked hard to create connection virtually and support communication professionals in creative ways. Our communication community coast to coast is stronger because of their dedication!
