Accreditation Work Group
A couple of IABC/Tucson members plan to pursue the Accredited Business Communicator designation offered through IABC. They would like to form a work group, which helps individuals through the process with tips and encouragement. If you’re interested, contact Marci TeBockhorst, marci_tebockhorst@raytheon.com. IABC/Tucson can help by creating a discussion or e-mail group for ABC applicants and inviting a speaker.
