It’s that time of year where we look around the IABC Manitoba Board of Directors table and see which seats we have available for the 2021/2022 term.

The table may still be split across home offices, but we are looking forward to more opportunities to connect in person. If you’re looking to make an impact in your career outside of your workplace, now’s the time to take a seat at the IABC Manitoba table. We have big roles and small ones. Every available role contributes to bringing Manitoba communicators together to network and learn from one another and industry experts.
