From the President

 

Can you believe it’s the end of the year already? Just as soon as I start getting used to signing the date 2011, it’s time to move on to 2012.

We’ve had another fabulous year at IABC Victoria this year, mainly thanks to the support of our members and the dedication and commitment of the board and volunteers. I’d like to thank each and every one of you for your continued interaction with IABC Victoria.

It so happens that we’re finishing the year off on a high note! It is with great pleasure that I welcome our newest Professional Partner, Media Monitors. As Asia Pacific’s largest media intelligence company, it is a delight to have Media Monitors on board bringing their expertise to the IABC Victoria table.
