And thank you to our hosts: Bob Finlayson, president of Impact Marketing & Communications, led the happy hour and Jake White of Zaptin Communications headed up the roundtable.

Note: I wanted to share IABCLA's statement regarding the Black Lives Matter movement. I’m the chapter's vice president/president-elect, and I often post updates from the group to my blog.
On June 24, there’s a happy hour for independent communicators so they can keep their networks strong during lockdown. Learn more.
On June 26, we are holding a lunchtime ZOOM gathering on getting a toehold in the gig economy in order to bring together communicators who are divided by quarantine. Learn more. In the past 10 days, IABCLA has focused on how we can be useful in supporting and leading meaningful change by listening and learning and by having conversations that matter. We want to create programming for LA Communicators that supports antiracism and the Black Lives Matter movement and inspires the actions that lead to greater equity in our organizations. If you have suggestions or inspirations to share, please email us.  IABCLA Roundtable for Freelancers Have you thought about freelancing, but aren’t sure where to begin?
