From the President
Well hello all!
Is it too late to say Happy New Year? It’s hard to fathom that January has already slipped away and we are into the second month of 2012.
So what’s happening in IABC land? Well, while you’ve all been over-indulging on Christmas ham and champagne across the new year, we’ve been planning our events for 2012. We’ll be kicking things off with a night of networking at our Be Heard event on February 21. Lachlan Drummond from Newspoll will be leading the discussion on research trends and tools. It’ll be a chance for you to join in and share your tips when it comes to research, and enjoy the company of your fellow Victorian communicators.

2. Why did you decide to join IABC Victoria?
I joined IABC Victoria a few years ago while working in Knowledge Management at Telstra. In our work, knowledge sharing was the main focus; through this I had exposure to the Communications field. I first heard about IABC when I bumped into another Australian - Adrian Cropley - while speaking at a Communications conference in Singapore, who prompted me to join.
