IABC expands African footprint
According to the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), despite the current financial crisis causing a decline in membership, the organisation is growing in Africa.

The Ubuntu chapter achieved the second highest growth rate and the Pretoria and Johannesburg chapters were amongst the top 25 fastest-growing chapters.
