Congratulations to IABC/Toronto members who are the recipients of the 2019 Silver Leaf Awards, the premiere professional awards program celebrating excellence in business communication from the Canada West and Canada East Regions of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC). Our chapter had 25 members honoured with the coveted awards, which were announced in October.
“Everywhere I go, I am proud to say that I’m the President of the IABC/Toronto chapter and that’s because we have such dedicated, enthusiastic and accomplished communicators. Having 25 of the 55 Silver Leaf awards go to Toronto Communicators is exciting and reinforces my belief that together, we can do great things!”
Lindsay Grillet, President IABC/Toronto
