It’s never the price.  It’s always the value.  In September, IABC International is offering even more value by waiving the standard $40 application fee… for brand new members or for those whose memberships have lapsed and wish to rejoin.

To pique your interest, IABC is hosting an open house of the (usually) members-only parts of the Web site this month. During September, the public will have free access to:

• Discovery, IABC’s new enhanced-search content archives. You can gain access to Communication World magazine, CW Bulletin, and select Research Foundation reports, along with searchable Knowledge Center manuals (an $1800 value if purchased in hard copy).
• MyComm, IABC’s online communication planning tool.
• Read access to MemberSpeak and IABC Buzz, IABC’s online bulletin boards.
• The Job Centre (no explanation needed!).

In this economy, everyone is looking for a bargain... surely this qualifies. If you have been a member in the past, find out why you should rejoin, and if you’ve been thinking about it, learn why you should take the leap. Even if you’re currently a member, log on and check out the incredible resources available to you from IABC.  

Sign up now. The offer is available only during the month of September, so don’t delay. If you are currently a member, just go to the Web site, enter your member ID (from your membership card) and password.  If you do not currently have a password, click on the arrow to the right of that box and register.  

It will take less than a minute, but will yield a career’s worth of benefit.
