Member Testimonials

Can’t decide if IABC is for you? Here are what our members have to say about the benefits of belonging.

"For someone not originally from the world of communication, IABC has been a valuable source of practical learning and professional networking. From volunteer opportunities with the board to the ability to influence monthly programming to the great resources available online and via quarterly issues of Communication World, IABC has helped me to develop essential leadership and technical skills."

Kara Foster
Public Relations Manager
Cardinal Health

"After attending an IABC Business Writing Conference, I knew that this organization was serious about communication. The Dayton chapter continues to raise the bar for professional development, and offers a community of smart, dedicated individuals who are passionate about advancing the profession."

Mary Beth Weaver
Corporate Communications Specialist
The Dayton Power & Light Company

"I've been a member of IABC and active in the Dayton chapter for a number of years. This affiliation is one of the most rewarding and welcoming that I have ever encountered within a professional group. In addition to relevant learning opportunities through our professional development sessions, we get opportunities to help young communication students (if we want to), and broaden our network. And, I've gotten business referrals, too!"

Rosalie Catalano
Owner/President
Keystone HR Consulting, LLC

"I work at a company full of engineers. I joined IABC six years ago in order to commune with — and continue to learn from — fellow marketing folk (at least we speak the same language!). One of the most rewarding aspects of belonging to IABC has been my volunteering to judge Bronze Quill entries from other chapters. Each batch contains some exemplary communications pieces that spark ideas that I can apply to my own work."

Danielle Dumont
Corporate & Marketing Communications
YSI Inc.

“As a business owner, networking and meeting other people in the communications industry is critical in helping me grow my company. The connections I’ve met through IABC — both in Dayton, and nationwide — have been invaluable. I won’t put an exact dollar value on how much my IABC connections have meant to my company … but l will say that my annual membership fee has been repaid many times over.”

Samantha Enslen
Owner and Senior Writer/Editor
Dragonfly Editorial

“I work at a small communications consulting company with a "baptism by fire" training approach. By joining IABC, I’ve been able to gain the experience I need to meet and exceed my colleagues' and clients' expectations. The programs have kept me up-to-speed on the latest trends and technologies, as well as strengthened my traditional skills.”
