The Excellence in Communication Leadership (EXCEL) Award, one of the highest honors IABC can bestow, recognizes a person who is not an IABC member but exhibits leadership in fostering excellent communication. These contributions include such achievements as initiating, directing, supporting or sustaining outstanding and effective communication programs. This international award is often given to a chief executive officer (CEO), managing director or president.
One award is presented each year, provided a suitable candidate has been identified and nominated by an IABC member or non-member and approved by a majority vote by IABC’s executive board.
EXCEL nominees will be evaluated on the following points (all points are weighted equally):
- Skills: Demonstration of exceptional leadership, management and communication skills.
- Communicating with diverse audiences: Some experience in communicating with global or multicultural audiences is preferred.
- Strategy: Use of a communication strategy that demonstrates creativity and innovation and that contributes to the business success of the organization.
- Commitment to communication: Commitment to the communication programs for all of the organization's audiences—both internal and external—at the local, national and international levels.
- Personal communication: Effective personal communication with all of these audiences. Nominees must be shown to have participated in communication, not simply directed the communication staff in their efforts.
