With the holiday season upon us, it is appropriate to talk about a gift communicators can give: the gift of communication. For several years, the day before the IABC World Conference begins, communicators spend a day with local nonprofits from the host city, providing their advice and recommendations to organizations that don’t have the resources to employ or contract strategic communication counsel. The practice has spread to regions and chapters and beyond. In this live stream, four Fellows of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) will discuss this practice and other ways it can be applied.

The session is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 16. Join us in real time on YouTube, ask questions and share observations. The panel will be available shortly after it wraps up as a video playback on YouTube and as an audio podcast here on the FIR Podcast Network.
