Jennifer Wah
Jennifer Wah shared some exciting news tonight at a party in the new
Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre.
It was the September kickoff for the B.C. Chapter of IABC (International Assn. of Business Communicators) and, as we took in the amazing view of Burrard Inlet, Jennifer told us what she found out this morning.
The past president of IABC/BC won the Master Communicator Award – IABC Canada’s recognition of life time achievement. Only 40 or so people have won this award since it was inaugurated in 1980.
According to the IABC Canada website: “The Master Communicator Award, sponsored by the IABC Canada Western and East Regions recognizes up to two outstanding Canadian communicators whose work has brought credit to IABC, the profession, the organizations they have worked for or with and whose contributions have raised the standards of organizational communication in Canada.”
Jennifer cried when she told us how touched she felt when she read the letters from people who nominated her. She has been an active mentor and volunteer leader for many years, and in 1999 she won our chapter’s “Volunteer of the Year” award.
Congratulations Jennifer!
