Strategic Interest Groups (SIGs) are professional development and networking forums that enable members to get together to discuss issues and challenges, explore emerging trends, exchange ideas and network with peers in like specialties. SIGs can be role, location, medium or issue specific. These groups are member-driven and chapter-supported. For more information, see the SIG How-to Guide.

 

All Strategic Interest Group events are free and no registration is required. Attendees are responsible for their own food and beverage.

Independent Communicators
Coodinator: Karen Campbell

 

The Independent Communicators SIG is a forum for communicators who operate their own business, contract for their services, work as the only communications employee in an organization, or are exploring the possibility of working independently. We network, share experiences and ideas, and support each other's professional development.
