IABCLA updates: using the power of our profession

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.

IABCLA is proud to stand with our global organization. Our 50-year-old association of thousands of communicators around the world is mindful of today’s challenges and prepared to be a force for good in serving justice and humanity.

IABC says: We see you. We hear you. We are with you.

IABCLA adds: Let’s get together and have conversations that matter.

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.

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.
