Why join?
A local network of communicators in one of the most dynamic markets for our profession
Seattle has so many world-class companies and thought leaders. Be part a community being created by communicators to connect us to the latest thinking in our field. Connect to other professionals, potential mentors, or potential employers, and shine in your field through:
- Networking events
- Webinars with local experts
- Opportunities for board leadership or volunteering
- Awards that can highlight your work
The only professional association with international credibility
Seattle is a global city with a global outlook. Only IABC provides an internationally-recognized professional accreditation through the Global Communication Certification Council (GCCC®). Our Communication Management Professional (CMP) and Strategic Communication Management Professional (SCMP) certifications, including the continuing professional development requirement, are based on the Global Standard for communication professionals.
Depending on your years and experience level in the profession, both could help you differentiate yourself in Seattle’s competitive professional landscape. Our worldwide and US regional conferences also provide ways to connect to professionals around the world.
Help create the community for Seattle communicators that YOU envision
Help create the community for Seattle communicators that YOU envision
In a city that moves as fast as ours, having a "home base" matters. We are building a community where you can find a mentor over coffee, brainstorm with peers who "get it," and celebrate the work that defines the Northwest.
This is your invitation to help us set the culture. Board and volunteer roles are open now — join us and help create a local network that feels like a real community, not just a contact list.
