A message from IABC / DC Metro President: Angelo Ioffreda |
| |
It is hard to believe that August is already here. What a summer! Hot and politically charged! And the “dog days” haven’t even arrived yet. The Back-to-School and off-to-college promotions are starting, and the NFL lockout is over and the players are training again. These fall rites serve as a gentle reminder that we need to get ready for a new season and, for communicators, that means a professional career tune-up might be a good idea.
