Meet the Board
Our IABC UK&I Board are communications experts with backgrounds in a variety of disciplines - including marketing, leadership coaching, internal comms, consultancy, journalism, and more.
We’re elected to uphold the IABC standard of excellence, ethics, and purpose. We’re accountable to all our chapter’s members; providing supervision and direction of association affairs.
Put simply: we’re here to make the IABC UK&I a great chapter for our members.
