Independents Activities

Sole proprietors and independent practitioners often face challenges quite different from their FTE colleagues. And as an independent, your best resource is other independent practitioners, with whom you can share experiences, lessons learned, and best practices.

Open exclusively to IABC/DC Metro members who are self-employed (with five or fewer employees), this group offers all this and more—networking, support, and best practices information—not to mention regular luncheons with colleagues!

Our 2010 schedule of activities for "Indies" began in April with a luncheon with veteran professional communicator Alison Barber (below, right), who discussed lessons she's learned in transitioning to her new role as a consultant.
