Membership Dues in 2012
International dues will increase 3% on January 1, which amounts to an increase of US$1 to US$7 (depending on location and member type).
Renew by 31 December 2001 and save! Throughout the rest of 2011, members are welcome to renew their memberships at the current 2011 rate—no matter when the renewal date is—for another full year of membership. Members paying in Australian and Canadian dollars and Euros will actually experience a dues decrease on January 1, as the exchange rates will change.

Be heard! Take this quick IABC community assessment on the Blackberry Outage that upset consumers around the globe.
In Mid-October, millions of BlackBerry smartphone users were cut off by a major fault at RIM, the Canadian company that makes the devices. The glitch affected online services for consumers all over Europe, the Middle East and Africa leaving users unable to browse the web or instant messages, or access other internet services such as email.
IABC's series of quick surveys aim to take the pulse of how communicators view the actions of organizations in the news. Survey topics are determined by business events that are of interest to a broad cross-section of IABC members.
