IABC Africa Excel winner to be announced at conference
The award is frequently given to a chief executive officer, managing director or general manager for his/her contribution to business communication. This contribution can include initiating, directing, supporting or sustaining outstanding and effective communication programmes.
The international EXCEL Award programme and now in its fourth decade is largely recognised as the IABC's highest honour to be bestowed on a non-member. There are no restrictions or biases based on size of organisation or budget and nominations for this international award are made by both IABC members and non-members.
