By David Murray, editor, Vital Speeches of the Day; and program chairman, Strategic Video Awards.

This week we issued the call for entries for the 2012 Strategic Video Awards, which have categories devoted to both internal and external leadership communication.

If you’re using video to take your leaders to audiences they can’t meet in person—and you should be—then enter the SVAs.

The process is simple, the entry fee is reasonable and the reward—proving you can handle the hottest new tool in leadership communication—is priceless.
