A club that would have you as a member
July 13, 2011
Speechwriters arenโt big joiners, Iโve noticed; and when they reach the executive ranks, they remain more isolated than, say, their counterparts in public relations or marketing.
Which is why Leadership Communication Days is such a happy gathering.
But executive communicators who are looking for more continuous professional community might look up the Communication Leadership Exchange.
Itโs small and little-knownโit used to be known as the Council of Communication Management; itโs been around in one form or another since 1955; and youโve never heard of it, right?โand the 350-ish members like to keep it that way.
But a conversation I recently had with CLE president Becky Healy indicated that executive communication pros are just the sorts of members theyโre looking for.
