Who's Your Hero?


Who’s your IABC Southern Region Hero? Mentor? Inspiration? Motivation? Superstar?

Who has been a shining star in our SoReg galaxy? Who has been a guiding light in our SoReg universe?

Let’s honor them!

We all know a Southern Region leader who is an outstanding example of what it means to be a member of IABC.  Let’s show our appreciation and spotlight them with our brand new Southern Region Awards. 

Do you know someone who is beginning in their communications career and is already providing ‘role model’ engagement as a member and budding leader in Southern Region? Nominate them for our Rising Star Award!

Who do you know who has made outstanding contributions to our Southern Region over the past year and deserves recognition and our show of appreciation? Nominate them for our Communicator of the Year Award!

Think of that individual who exemplifies what it means to be a leader, an inspiration, a model of professionalism in our organization and our industry. That person who stands out for their dedication and contributions to Southern Region over the years. Nominate them for our Southern Region Hall of Fame Award!

I hope you are as excited as I am about these new opportunities we’ve established to acknowledge and honor our exceptional SoReg colleagues for their contributions to our Region and our profession. 
Please join me in showing appreciation to our SoReg heroes and nominate Your SoReg star today!

With heartfelt gratitude for all you do, 
 

Chair, IABC Southern Region

P.S. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, needs and feedback. I love hearing from you!
