ACCREDITATION
Becoming an Accredited Business Communicator (ABC) is an important step in your professional development. IABC's accreditation program measures your abilities and skills at a critical stage of career growth -- as you move from craft levels into communication management levels. A rigorous testing program identifies and recognizes the well-rounded communicator through written and oral examinations and a portfolio evaluation. "ABC" after your name is a mark of professional achievement and commitment. It demonstrates to fellow communicators, to employers, and, most important, to yourself, that you have attained the skill levels needed.
For more information on the accreditation program, call Rae Hamlin, ABC, (415) 433-3400, ext. 113, or fax (415) 362-8762.

Excellence in Communication Leadership
The Excellence in Communication Leadership Award (EXCEL) is given by IABC to a non-IABC member who leads the way in fostering -- and participating in -- good communication. EXCEL Award winners support communication and public relations and their organizations reflect that support in their outstanding communicating work. The EXCEL Award is the highest award given to a nonmember, who is frequently a chief executive in a major company. For information, call Cheryl Carter, (415) 433-3400, ext. 104.

Chairman's Award
The Chairman's Award is given to IABC members who have given of their time and talents and have diligently worked behind the scenes for IABC at the international level over a period of at least years. Generally, this will be a contribution that largely has gone unrecognized. Service on the executive board or in any other IABC leadership position will not rule out a candidate for the award, but such service in and of itself will not be a consideration since this service is recognized in other ways.

Communication Bank is IABC's most comprehensive information service. Whatever your communication problem, the Bank is a premier idea source. The handbooks, sample materials, Gold Quill case studies, work plans and videos provide examples and how-tos to help you through all phase of your problem to its solution.

Handbooks: Covering more than 100 topics, IABC handbooks and handbook sets contain information on nearly every aspect of business communication. The handbooks are updated continually; each month the IABC Communication Bank staff reviews more than 1,500 publications, case studies, reports and speeches and adds new information to the handbooks to keep them current.

IABC -- Mission, Purpose and Structure
IABC is the local, national and international information network for communication professionals. IABC is the source you can depend on for topical information, project consultation, management skills -- and career development. No matter where your communication career takes you, IABC is right there with you, through the activities of local chapters, regional districts and the support of the headquarters staff.
The international dimension of IABC is becoming an increasingly valued benefit to individual members. As the world grows closer and organizations' operations and services cross national boundaries, communicators need to better understand the diversity of many cultures.
At the same time, IABC chapters in each country must encompass and reflect the different cultures in their local communicates as they target their communication efforts. Members are learning from each other, and IABC is at the forefront in helping to minimize traditional barriers and to value the many dimensions of diversity through information, networks, education, professional development and research.
IABC's Mission
IABC is dedicated to fostering communication excellence, contributing more effectively to organizational goals worldwide, and being a model of communication effectiveness.
In pursuit of this mission, IABC provides a full range of member services, adheres to sound fiscal and association management policies, and promotes better public understanding and recognition of the value of professional communication.
Structure
There are more than 11,500 IABC members working in over 40 countries throughout the world. IABC is organized into three levels.
1. Chapters
These local organizations have been established by volunteer IABC members in 121 cities in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, southern Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Chapters offer a range of local services, including regular professional development meetings and workshops, member newsletters, awards programs and job placement. Chapters also provide an excellent opportunity for local networking with peers.
2. Districts/regions
Chapters are organized into districts or regions. IABC has 12 districts and regions: seven in the U.S. two in Canada, one covering Europe/Africa, one covering Asia/Pacific and one covering the Americas beyond Canada and the U.S. Districts and regions provide services ranging from management support for chapters to annual conferences and awards programs.
3. International
The International level of the association offers an array of direct services to individual members as well as management support to chapters and districts and regions. At the international level, IABC is managed by an elected volunteer executive board -- which sets the direction and policy of the association -- and is supported by a team of full-time staff members. IABC's governing document is its bylaws -- approved by chapter delegates. A copy of IABC's bylaws can be found on page 62.
