Congratulations to all the communicators who have received a Gold Quill this year. It’s great to see your hard work acknowledged and celebrated on the global stage. Every year IABC/Calgary shows the amazing talent we have here in our chapter as the Gold Quill program recognizes communications excellence worldwide. IABC International shared that this year’s submissions were some of the best they had seen in recent years.
If you have not submitted, I encourage you to think about it. It’s a great way to share the work you are doing with both your fellow communicators and your employer. And if you are not sure about Gold Quill there is also Silver Leaf – a national awards program here in Canada. To learn more visit Canada West Region’s Silver Leaf page.
