IABC announces a brand-new, one-day seminar on employee communication with Steve and Cindy Crescenzo.

IABC Strategic Communication Seminar

Empower yourself with a practical, field-tested, four-step system.

Strategic communication has never been more important. New media, social integration, changing demographics, shifting corporate cultures, global challenges, the constant need to stay ahead and on top—all of these factors are driving a massive shift in how organizations communicate to each and every audience – from employees to communities to the world at large.  This one-day workshop gives you all of the tools you need to be a leader in strategic communication. Walk away with a big picture plan, the how-to tactics and tangible take-aways you need.

"You’ll walk out with so many ideas and tactics you won't know which to use first. A word of advice: use them all."
Colleen Hawk, communications consultant, Arizona Public Service
