Dear Readers,
It is a pleasure to introduce myself as the Editor-in-Chief of IABC/Toronto’s Communicator publication for 2023-2024. As a dedicated professional who has worked in Public Relations for over 19 years and a proud volunteer with IABC/Toronto, I am happy to bring you the Winter 2024 issue, focused on a topic that holds immense potential for all of us: upskilling.
In our field, staying ahead of the curve is essential as we shift and adapt to new communications methods, and try to anticipate what will be the next big trend. In the ever-evolving world of communication, staying ahead is not only an advantage; it’s a necessity. Whether you are a seasoned expert or just starting your journey in the field, it is my hope that the insights shared in this edition offer invaluable perspectives while inspiring new possibilities.
I encourage each of you to embrace the pursuit of lifelong learning and consider the transformative power of upskilling. This shared commitment to lifelong learning ensures that our voices will continue to resonate both here in the GTA and around the world.
As always, if you would like to share any feedback on this issue, or if you have a great idea to contribute to a future article, please reach out our team at toronto-communications@iabc.
